The tree is made strong and resilient by its grounded root system. These roots take nourishment from the ground and grow strong. Grounding also allows the tree to be resilient so that it can yield to the winds of change and not be uprooted. Springiness is the facility to ground and ‘unground’ in a rhythmical way. This buoyancy is a dynamic form of grounding.
Peter Levine, Walking the Tiger
All things, including grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life;
dry and brittle in death.
Stiffness is thus a companion of death,
flexibility a companion of life
