28 Aseop’s Fable of the Boy and the Nettles
Fable of the Boy and the Nettles
A boy was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his Mother, saying, “Although it hurts me very much, I only touched it gently.” “That was just why it stung you,” said his Mother. “The next time you touch a Nettle, grasp it boldly, and it will be soft as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you.”
“Whatever you do, do with all of your might.”
Reflection
I am not dainty about living my life. I grab hold - and release in vibrancy. I meet each moment with a fullness of being. Breathing in and breathing out, I live. I am confident about being. The thistles and thorns and saw-toothed nettles of this world are smooth in my hands - all - reminders of my fortitude.
“No need to teach an eagle to fly”
