Humans often go to great lengths to tame nature. This bush started out as a tiny plant that was easy to trim and manage. However, as it grew, this became slightly more difficult.
If it had been sensitive to – or even conscious of – the gardener’s intent it might have felt hurt. Why doesn’t the gardener accept me as I am? Am I not good enough? It might have even decided to stop growing in an attempt to please the gardener.
But thankfully this plant does not know how to do anything but grow. Any attempts to tame it are completely ignored. It knows just how wonderfully wild it was meant to be. And grow it does.
