Becoming a Cactus🌵

The cactus is not a hard plant by whim, but by intelligence. Each of its characteristics answers to a lesson in survival. Its thorns are not aggressiveness: they are protection. Its slowness is not passivity: it is strategy. Its capacity to store water is not avarice: it is foresight. Its rare and spectacular flowering is not an exception: it is the result of well-administered patience.
The cactus does not fight against the desert. It learns to live within it.
And perhaps its greatest teaching is found there.
For all of us, at some point, cross our own deserts.
There are economic deserts, emotional deserts, intellectual deserts, affective deserts. Stages in which everything seems to demand more than it offers. Moments of solitude, of uncertainty, of prolonged weariness. Years when studying is a struggle, work weighs heavy, relationships grow complex, and the future looks like a dry and difficult geography.
