Nothing dramatic. No grand speech. No inspirational music. No wise old man appearing from the fog carrying a wooden staff and twelve centuries of accumulated wisdom. Just somebody saying: “If a root is deep enough, you no longer have to be afraid of the wind.” And initially my reaction was basically: Huh. That's pretty good. Then I went about my day.
