Chinese Bamboo what a mystery in itself with such magical wonders; how so do I view the reward of faith, patience, and love. I as the Chinese Bamboo have been watered and fertilized by my faith and nothing else. My watering and food might not be equivalent of five years but of thirty years to be grounded by my roots to connect to my soul for it to set flight.

And now, only now can I feel the “spiritual sprouts” forming ready to explode outward from my heart to touch the world with kindness and compassion through my words I have written. But yet has it sprouted, but so how I feel in in my heart, my roots becoming strong, to ground me for when my “spiritual sprouts” shoot my soul will be ready to fly.

I remind myself everyday of my life to be patient, only the universe rewards the most patient of people. So I like the Chinese Bamboo must remain in the ground not yet to be seen; and relying on my faith to nuture me everday ’til the day arrives I so patiently wait for. And I know deep in my heart when that day comes, my “spiritual sprouts” will shoot so high, so vibrant the world will shine, humbly I pray.

When this day arrives my soul and heart will set flight for a journey only my faith could see. And then could I finally say, I once was blind, but now can see.

I like the Chinese Bamboo wait patiently for this day to come.

I leave you with one of my favorite quotes: “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” Saint Augustine

And so how this quote describes the Chinese Bamboo and me.
