Being Firm and Being Gentle

“Don’t side with the strong; instead lean on their strengths to help the weak.” Mar Vin, Foo 🌿🪟

I am not perfect. None of us are and never will. Many of us struggle with our identities and insecurities.

Which tribe do we choose, which clan do we side with? Do we cave in to the strong, or do we harness their strength and redirect it for a greater purpose.

There is much to learn from ancient wisdom where the miniscule water element takes many steps to make the river meander over decades; and where the water and glaciers cut deep into rocks over eons.

Sometimes, we don’t need to be firm to make a stand like a statue; instead we can be gentle like water to let time carve an everlasting sculpture of natural wonder.

Choose to mend; choose to bridge; and choose to be happy.

I am Mar Vin Foo 🌿🪟. I am just like my old self when I was a kid; and just like you when we were all young.

Thank you for mending our broken world because we won’t have another one to buy from.
