Power vs Force

There is a lot of anger, confusion, and fear around what happened at the Capitol last week.  It got me thinking about Power vs Force.

The invasion was an exercise, an example, of force. The ending result was an example of power. The power of a process, and belief in that process that has lasted centuries and has led this country to be a global power. 

An oak tree is an example of power. It just sits there and grows, providing shade, beauty, homes for animals, and effortlessly does what oaks do. It withstands the force of all manner of storms and continues peacefully existing. It is power.          

Storms happen, and we’ve experienced that temporary release of energy. It is a powerful force. Sometimes the tree gets damaged but doesn’t die. It just stands there in its power and effortlessly continues to grow. Over time it becomes more beautiful and interesting in its own way. That life power is stronger than any force. 

I know, man can come and cut it down, remove its roots and completely kill it. Man has used lots of force over the years to do that and more. Maybe not one of our best attributes.

Events created by Force are like dark clouds & quickly pass. 
Events created by Power radiate light and are everlasting. 

Are you in touch with your power? 
Imagine what beauty and light you are capable of
