What is resilience?

Explore Resilience in Nature

Resilience is all around us in the natural world. I will spend 10 minutes outdoors looking for examples of resilience—such as plants regrowing, animals adapting, or seasonal cycles—and reflect on what they teach about thriving through change.

    Resilience is on full display in the spring, as barren tree buds swell and new fronds emerge in ferns. Some flowering red currents that I planted last spring died and were just sticks -- but wait, now the sticks are now sporting new leaves! Where there is life, there is hope.

    Today I had the pleasure of hiking in Tryon Creek State Park, where the trilliums are blooming, mostly in protected areas under big trees off the path, while others flower boldly right on the edge of the path where so many people and dogs walk. These are the flowers that we notice most easily and bring the most joy. This is a reminder to be brave and take risks, and that beauty and vulnerability can coincide.

      That is wonderful, Roberta! We went to Tryon Creek SP on Sunday, too. The trilliums and bird calls were gorgeous! It would have been fun to have run into you. Wishing you well!
