Discover New Hopes


When a tree is polled,
 it will sprout new shoots
 nearer its roots.
A soul that is ruined
 in the bud
 will frequently return to the springtime of its beginnings 
and its promise-filled childhood, 
as though it could discover
 new hopes there and retie the broken threads of life.
The shoots grow rapidly and eagerly, 
but it is only a sham life
 that will never be a genuine tree.

Hermann Hess
