We can learn much from nature and the creatures around us if we allow ourselves to do so. We can learn stability from the mighty mountains that stand in the face of gusting winds. We can learn wisdom from the deer that does not fight the raging forest fire, but finds a place untouched by the flames. The dog can teach us loyalty and love. The tiger can teach us power and speed. From the leaf that falls from the tree, we can learn to ride the current. From all that is around us, we can learn if we are willing to be the student.
