sometimes you have to prune a plant,
to allow for new growth.
or sometimes you have to trim your hair,
for its own health.

occasionally, a bee commits the ultimate sacrifice,
and uses its sting,
to give its own life.

one flap of a butterflies wings
can trigger a tsunami.
just as one thought
can easily wreak havoc on me.

a flower only blooms
in the right conditions
and a tree doesn't grieve
when it comes to fruition.

it cannot be underestimated,
the significance of loss
for oftentimes it clears our path
for what we need the most.
