The rain doth fall upon The just and unjust fella But mostly on the just because The unjust stole the just's umbrella
I guess put it in the trunk.
"There are two kinds of freedom: the freedom of having things exactly as you like them, and the freedom of knowing that in any moment, things are as they must be,
just as there are two kinds of victory: the victory of getting what you want and the victory of accepting what you are given and not letting a difficult situation or person get the best of you or rob you of your peace."
[If you find yourself about to explain ...]
I really should try to remember this one of these days.

~●~🌸 Jackie Chan responded to a journalist's question about whether he is satisfied with his life with these wise words:
"You know, I once heard very wise words:
Your hard work is the dream of every unemployed person;
Your restless child is the dream of everyone without children;
Your small home is the dream of every homeless person;
Your little capital is the dream of every debtor;
Your poor health is the dream of every patient with an incurable disease;
Your peace, your peaceful sleep, your accessible food is the dream of everyone in a country at war.
You must appreciate everything you have. After all, no one knows what tomorrow will bring."

Some facts about bamboo:
1.Fast Growth: Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has been recorded at growing 47.6 inches in 24 hours. Some species can even grow over a meter per day under optimal conditions. A new bamboo shoot reaches its full height in less than a year.
Oxygen Release: A grove of bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than any other tree out there.
Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 17 tons per hectare every year. It can act as a valuable carbon sink given how fast the plant grows.
No Fertilizer Required: Bamboo doesn’t need fertilizer to grow. It can self-mulch by dropping its leaves and use the nutrients to grow.
Drought Resistance: Bamboos are drought-tolerant plants. They can grow in the desert.
Wood Replacement: Bamboos can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to the 20-30 years of most softwood trees.
Building Material: Bamboo is incredibly strong and sturdy. It has been used as support for concrete as well as scaffolding, bridges, and houses.
Soil Stability: Bamboo has a wide network of underground roots and rhizomes that prevent soil erosion.
Natural Air Conditioner: Bamboo cools the air surrounding it by up to 8 degrees in the summer.
Invasiveness: Some species of bamboo, especially ‘running’ bamboos, can be invasive due to their extensive root systems, which allow them to spread rapidly. However, not all species are invasive, and with proper management, the environmental impact can be minimized.

Armenia is dying, but it will survive. The little blood that it still has left is precious blood that will give birth to a heroic generation. A nation that does not want to die, does not die.
@MissAdventurous great Jackie Chan quote! And yes, I do appreciate our friendship.
Zinnias are native to Mexico and Central America. The Aztecs originally called them “plants that are hard on the eyes” because of their colorful flowers. Zinnia is named after Johann Gottfried Zinn, a German botany professor who discovered these plants and brought them back to Europe in the 1700s. The original plants have expanded in flower colors and plant shapes and sizes, due to their popularity with breeders. You can now buy Zinnia seeds or plants that range from 6 inches tall to almost 4 feet tall. There are varieties with single or double petaled flowers in almost all the colors of the rainbow.
The zinnia is one tough flower so the symbolism has evolved to mean endurance in all of it’s many forms. This includes spontaneous endurance: from youth to old age the zinnia endures and continues to bloom. It is also believed to mean joyous endurance, happy to bloom in the broiling heat of summer. The zinnia also endures through any trials and tribulations (unforgiving heat, drought, bugs) and continues to put forth beautiful flowers in many shades of red, orange, apricot, yellow, white, lilac and even lime green.
The Zinnia Flower is used by Native Americans in their traditional medicine and rituals. The flowers have medicinal properties that are beneficial to the skin. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The Navajo tribe holds the flower in high regard as one of their sacred Life Medicines.
Almost all of the Zinnia’s symbolism is positive. Depending on its color, Zinnias can mean different positive things but the flower mainly represents friendship, endurance, lasting affection, remembrance, and goodness.
"When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it. So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat." ~ Alan Watts
