If there was no change, there would be no Fall.
“If there was no change, there would be no butterflies.”
This simple yet
profound quote passes through my mind every time I walked by the beautiful Ginkgo
Biloba tree that stood outside of Dominican High school on my way to the Campus
Ministry room. I greeted this tree every morning with a smile, because I was
excited to see its stages of transition when the Fall season began. Sure
enough, the Ginkgo Bilboa tree transformed into a radiant and golden work of
art. One day, I decided to take a picture of the beautiful tree and I am very
happy that I did because at the end of that day, all of its beautiful leaves
blew away. The tree is now bare, but I am so grateful that I was able to
journey with this tree, even if it was for a short while. The tree reminds me
of myself in so many ways, because as I continue to transition, grow, and
transform during my candidate year, I know that I have and always will be
greeted with love and support from this community. So, even the quote for me
has transitioned:
“If there was no
change, there would be no Fall.”
