Prevailing

A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place,
but intends to stay. — Sara Stein

Have you ever noticed that weeds can grow in the most unlikely places? Or they grow in places where they’re obviously not meant to be?

Weeds assert themselves and flourish where other plants seemingly cannot muster the same fortitude. They push up through the smallest of cracks in asphalt or cement. They slowly and deliberately disrupt man-made structures.

Without fanfare, weeds quietly go about their mission — to prevail.

Could there be a life lesson here? We ourselves may feel out of place at times. Or circumstances may seem to be overwhelmingly against us. But perhaps there’s a “crack” somewhere that can serve as a place of breakthrough for us — and a way to prevail.
