Where stories grow
By Ariadne Gallardo Figueroa
Among the options and balances I consider moving forward, I choose to trust my intuition and my feelings regarding what I have accomplished, celebrate the fortunate moments when successes gradually manifest; understanding the temptations and transformations that we all experience when embarking on a path.
I face fewer and fewer risks, carefully reflecting on what is to come, with calm and serenity… Recognizing that every proposal requires moderation.
Organize the path again without allowing distractions. Analyzing the value I give to what stays most in my mind. That’s where I put the focus of attention on the new project.
What does each detail of the tree that I share with the world tell me?
I am past as my trunk widens with more growth rings, only there you can see my age, but you will never know what it represents if you were not there.
What does each detail of the branches that I share with the world tell me?

How do I recognize the value they had?

What evidence do I have when I see that not all your rings are the same in thickness?
