Of Branches And Birds

A Chinese proverb says, "If I keep a green branch in my heart, a singing bird will sit on it." It perhaps means that life can be truly beautiful, if you only decide to make it so. The green branch may be interpreted as good will and perseverance. If you allow them to grow inside yourself, the "bird" of serenity will land on it and may even make its nest there while singing a lovely song. The bird represents the realization of your wishes - in every aspects of your life. If the green branch symbolizes a relationship, for example, in order to prevent it from withering, you must give it all the elements necessary to its survival: air (understanding), sun (caring), water (sharing). Without them the singing bird (love) neither will stay long not will it sing its song. It will fly away, looking for another tree, for another branch.
