The Mystery of Growth
by Bob Dillaber

The mystery of man’s true growth lies in an unseen foundation, created usually by an immense pressure.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, filled with tears and laughter.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, is neither upside down or downside up. It is what it is.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, is as perfect and imperfect as nature’s law.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, bursts forth with brilliance, then dissolves into blackness and back again.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, clings to its stable foundation in spite of cracks of faith.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, is slippery-slidey, with two steps forward and one step backward.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, can never imagine its ultimate destiny.

Growth which comes in peaks and valleys, develops a perfection known only to its maker, but with fleeting glimpses by he who lives it.
