THERE ONCE WAS A DREAM THAT WAS ROBERT BURNS, IT SHALL BE REALIZED
Here is how I feel about our RT Burns Group and our quest to spread the word about Robert Burns and all things Scottish:
Do you know what happens after you
plant the seed of a Chinese Bamboo Tree?
Nothing. That's right. Absolutely nothing. For 4
years after planting the seed of this tree you
get no satisfaction other than a tiny shoot
coming out of a bulb. Must be something wrong,
right? A still birth or stunted growth. A bad
seed maybe.
If you didn't know about the growth patterns for
this tree, you'd think that all your efforts to
plant and cultivate were useless.
But, in fact, what's happening all the time is
that underneath the ground there's a massive root
structure that's forming. You can't see it, but
it's there and it's HUGE. Then, in the 5th year,
the Chinese Bamboo Tree grows and grows and
grows, s ometimes up to EIGHTY FEET tall!
GOALS AND DREAMS sometimes grow like Chinese Bamboo
Trees. You try and try doing kindnesses, giving
gifts, being gentle, sharing a joke, but
sometimes it takes months, even years before you
SEE the growth. But all the while you're making
deposits into a secret account that all of a
sudden (that's the way it seems, but, in fact, my
point is that it's not all of sudden) begins
paying dividends.
It takes maturity to be patient. And it takes
maturity to be willing to give your GOALS AND DREAMS the
time they need to grow and to see that time as an
opportunity for you to grow too.
This is how I feel about RT Burns and spreading the word about Burns...

True indeed. You have to stick with whatever passion you have because it can definitely take time to grow. Can you shed a little light on what Robert Burns is about.
