There and Back Again

When things happen, people say that it 'takes resilience'.

(It is an interesting phrase for a little piece of pedantry and apt to see that resilience is an anagram of Ire Silence)

Because challenges don't take resilience, they deliver it.
People mean of course that they require resilience.

It is true that you do need enough to start with on your journey. Early years of a good and present parent or two is often the deciding factor lest the ground gives way too easily.

And you may have to fake the resilience it will take.
But that's OK.

These fake seeds grow real shoots
These magic beans yield real stalks.

Make it to morning and hopefully all the trolls will have turned to stone.
