Patience is what we need..........right?
Bamboo is a unique plant. Sow a bamboo seed today and you may not even see a single sprout for the next five odd years. Strange!
But suddenly, a tiny shoot will spring from the ground. And over the next 6 weeks the plant can grow as tall as 90 feet. You can literally watch the plant grow. Very strange!
What was the plant doing during these 5 years? For 5 full years it was preparing itself for rapid, full growth. Some would say the plant grew 90 feet in 6 weeks, I would say it grew 90 feet in 5 years and 6 weeks".
A lesson for us parents. Be patient, your offspring will turn out right..........right? more
