One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality...
I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
鈥淕od鈥�, I said. 鈥淐an you give me one good reason not to quit?鈥�
His answer surprised me. 鈥淟ook around鈥�, He said. 鈥淒o you see the fern and the bamboo?鈥�
鈥淵es鈥�, I replied. 鈥淲hen I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing
