Close your eyes and imagine standing in the middle of a group of Pine trees in a thickly wooded area. Under the soul of your shoes, you can feel the uneven ground that you stand upon has layers and layers of pine needles. You take a big deep breath, the taste of pine indulges all your senses. That crisp air refreshes your mind, body, and soul. It has been a long time since you have been this relaxed yet focused.
Now as you open your eyes the forest comes alive before you. There are the sounds of birds chirping far off in the distance. You can feel the wind against the trees, it moves them in a rhythmic pattern, almost an intimate dance between each other that you are privileged to watch.
You turn to your left and right and notice that you are surrounded by other trees. Even though they are so close by and inside your personal space, you don't mind. You actually enjoying their company, their sounds and what they bring to your space.
You slowly look down and notice that your legs are gone. In their place, your legs have become the tree and your roots are far underground. They are strong, stable and hold your body upright dancing in the wind.
Again you look around at the other trees in the forest and notice that they are actually familiar faces of people that you know and some you have yet to meet. Each tree is dancing together in the wind and their tree roots all intertwine to help and support the growth of each other and foster new growth where there is a tiny seedling that sprouts.

It is important in life to remember that we humans are like trees. We all have the ability to help each other grown in life, through our experiences and knowledge, if we share these with each other we all can dance in the wind. It is only during the windstorms that if we do not stand and dance together we will all fall with broken limbs, and some might not be able to attach the branches back on or the roots may die.
"For the body does not consist of one member but of many." (1 Corinthians 12:14 - English Standard Version)
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works." (Hebrews 10:24 - New King James Version)
We all need to gather in the woods of this world to dance in the wind. Foster each other to grown strong roots so that future saplings can pass this knowledge along and we will all prosper.
