Resilience

Posted on May 3, 2021 by Fred

The wind blows in.
The rain pours down.
The tree bends back.
Resilience.

Windburned face.
Tear-stained cheeks.
Feet firmly planted.
Resilience.

Tired mind.
Battered heart.
Steady soul.
Resilience.

A breeze settles in.
Sunlight breaks through.
The tree stands tall.
Resilience.

Windburned face.
Tear-stained cheeks.
Feet moving forward.
Resilience.

It’s Resilience Week for Virginia. And collaborative community I’m involved with, Greater Williamsburg Trauma-Informed Community Network (GWTICN), has organized some incredible events around the theme of trauma and resilience. GWTICN has also connected with local organizations hosting events for the week. Find some that spark your interest and get involved.
