Being a coconut
Something that my family got to have in abundance in Thailand is tender coconut. Every time I had one, I found myself thinking about these attributes.
Hard on the outside,
Crack open and tender inside,
Refreshing and sweet,
The perfect treat.
A burst of energy,
An antidote for the weary,
A coconut we should try to be.
There is so much we can learn from this humble tropical nut. The one with many layers—each layer a story.
