I will especially think of bamboo the next time I am in tree pose :) I could have used a bit more bamboo energy as a youth as I never made it to 5 feet in physical height yet in spirit I do feel the energy and this message is a wonderful reminder to hold steadfast to your dreams and trust that they will grow. especially if one surrounds themselves with a "nutritional" environment.

But I shall remember (the bamboo) and learn to be patient and more tolerant. Anne Hi Arvind,

A very nice comparison Arvind but often one gets impatient when things don’t happen and results are slow. But I shall remember (the bamboo) and learn to be patient and more tolerant.

It does not have proper/full width or cross-section area when it grows meaning that it has no proper/solid base. It just grows in height, without a solid base. Don't you think that while one should aim for the sky heights, one has also to take a balanced approach for creating a solid base as well. A unidirectional growth cannot match a multi-dimensional growth that is a long-lasting solution. So, we may have to look at the growth of other trees as well, which can grow in height, width and cross-section and are not hollow from inside. The same analogy may perhaps apply to human beings as well. A person with a solid base will ultimately have a better long-term growth. These are just a few thoughts. I would like to know the reaction of a thinker like you. Arvind, excellent piece; but what do you think about these facts: Bamboo is hollow from inside.
