Growth,Flexibility, and Time

I am busy getting a Project of the ground, so I am blog thieving at the moment - as there is little time to be original:

This Quote from Gavin Lloyd's Blog in UK:

"Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail." - Lao-tzu

My thoughts:

We all get less flexible with age. A reminder of the natural cycle of life that leads towards physical death. Though, in complete contrast, people can change and become increasingly more flexible and supple in the things of the Spirit at any point in their lives.

This to me provides evidence of eternal things, unseen, that are far beyond our natural physical and material experience.
