To Change to Grow Up


Sztuka życia
nie polega na chronieniu
i trzymaniu się kurczowo
danego wyrazu szczęścia,
ale na zgadzaniu się,
bez uczucia zawodu,
aby szczęście zmieniało swoją formę;
gdyż szczęściu,
tak jak dziecku,
musimy pozwolić wzrastać.

The art of living
does not consist
in preserving and clinging
to a particular mood of happiness,
but in allowing happiness
to change its form
without being disappointed by the change;
for happiness,
like a child,
must be allowed to grow up.

STORY BEHIND THIS PICTURE:

I took this picture about year ago in Kodeń- a village near Polish eastern border.
Autumn tree- loses its leaves to get new ones next spring. Still changing in order to grow up and develop.
