Everything in life has its time, nature itself teaches us so, because the day gives its space to the night and vice versa, the same with the seasons of the year and with the development of every living being, not only man, who follows the process of birth-life-death.
When I contemplate this beautiful araguaney tree, the national tree of Venezuela, I think that our life is like that, because, at the time of preparation, planning, effort and struggle, it continues to reap successes and achieve achievements: it is the time of our flowering.
In a special way, this tree makes me think about this because he is of humble appearance, since, during several months he shows himself with his green leaves like the others, it seems not to stand out nor to have anything special, but suddenly, when the conditions are there, and he is already prepared, he shows himself in all his splendor.
This is also our life, our beginnings are humble, insignificant for many people, they can even look down on us or make fun of us. In those moments let us remember the Araguaney that after a time of apparent inertia, it flourishes as one of the most beautiful trees in all creation.
Besides, its yellow color makes us understand it, since this is a color that calls our attention, that transmits life, joy, dynamism, enthusiasm. This is what happens to us when we achieve our goals, we also transmit good and beautiful things to others. Sometimes, without realizing it, just for being as we are, in the style of Araguaney.
As my grandfather once told me: "It doesn't matter where you are, if you shine, your light will attract attention and will reach places that you cannot imagine". So, let's focus on ourselves, on reaching our dreams, because the time will come when we will be able to enjoy them, just as I enjoyed very much the blossoming of this Araguaney.
