Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield in A Lamp in the Darkness writes, "The world offers perennial renewal, in the grass that pushes itself up between the cracks in the sidewalk, in the end of every torrential rainstorm and in every newly planted windowbox, in every unexpected revolution, with each new morning's light. This unstoppable spirit of renewal is in you. Trust it. Learn that it flows through you and all of life.
In Jeremiah, the Bible promises that we "shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
