You will always wait for the leaf on the dry tree / Siempre esperarás la hoja en el árbol seco

Hello, girls!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I don't doubt it.

I was recently walking down a street where I noticed two trees, side by side, both as similar as they were different. One had its beautiful, blooming green foliage, while the other showed me its bare branches.

And that made me think. I thought about our individuality and how different we as people can be. It made me realize how similar we are to trees. I saw myself as a woman/tree, my husband as a man/tree, and my children as those small sprouts or saplings walking beside me.
My children, in particular, were an essential part of this reflection. They are siblings. Like these trees, siblings can grow together, feed on the same substrate, have the same upbringing, and yet, although they look alike, they are not the same.

Let's look at two siblings who have been raised the same way, with the same values ​​and the same love. However, from a young age they display their own characteristics, their distinct tastes. These qualities have been reinforced, and therefore, when they become adults, they will be completely different, although in essence, they are the same.
Just like these trees. They are united by the same earth that nourishes them; they receive the same nutrients, the same amount of water and sunlight, and yet one is dry, while the other is healthy.
That's why we sometimes see siblings where one is a good person, studious, and hardworking, while the other chooses the wrong path or the easy way.

You can call it free will, you can call it whatever, but this isn't always due to upbringing, but to that inherent individuality within each of us that makes us unique. The power to decide.
But where there was love, there will always be hope.
However, if one of those two trees that grew together, nourished by the same substrate and coming from the same earth that unites them, can flourish and bear good fruit, we will always have hope.
You will always hope to see the green leaf on the withered tree.

¡Hola, chicas!

Se dice que una imagen dice más que mil palabras y no lo pongo en duda.

Recientemente pasaba por una calle donde observé a dos árboles, uno al lado del otro, al mismo tiempo tan similares como distintos. Uno se encontraba con su follaje verde, hermoso y florecido; mientras que el otro me mostraba sus ramas desnudas.

Y eso me hizo pensar. Pensé en nuestra individualidad y lo diferente que podemos ser nosotros las personas. Me hizo ver lo similares que somos con los árboles. Me vi como una mujer/árbol, ver a mi esposo como un hombre/árbol y a mis hijos como esos pequeños brotes o árboles jóvenes que caminan a mi lado.
Precisamente mis hijos fueron una parte esencial en esta reflexión. Son hermanos. Al igual que estos árboles, los hermanos pueden crecer juntos, alimentarse del mismo sustrato, tienen la misma crianza y, sin embargo aunque se parecen, no son iguales.

Veamos a dos hermanos que han sido criados de la misma manera, con los mismos valores y el mismo amor. No obstante, desde pequeños muestran sus características propias, sus gustos distintos. Cualidades que se han ido reforzando y, por lo tanto, cuando sean adultos, serán completamente distintos, aunque en su esencia, sean iguales.
Como mismo le sucede a estos árboles. Los une la misma tierra que los alimenta; reciben los mismos nutrientes, la misma cantidad de agua y de sol, y sin embargo, uno está seco, mientras que el otro goza de salud.
Por eso, en ocasiones vemos a hermanos donde uno es una persona de bien, estudioso, trabajador, mientras que el otro elige el mal camino o el camino fácil.

Puede llamarse libre albedrío, puede llamarse como sea, pero no siempre esto se debe a la crianza, sino a esa individualidad inherente de cada quién y que nos hace únicos. El poder de decidir.
Pero donde hubo amor, siempre habrá esperanza.
Sin embargo, si uno de esos dos árboles que crecieron juntos, alimentándose del mismo sustrato y provenientes de la misma tierra que los une, puede florecer y dar buenos frutos, siempre nos quedará la esperanza.
Siempre esperarás ver la hoja verde en el árbol seco.
