As long as we have someone in our life who truly understands us, we feel comfortable and confident to give full expression to our abilities. That's just how precious the bonds of the heart are. Bonds between parents and children, teacher and student, mentor and disciple, are some such examples. As the tree of our life accumulates more rings, we will learn to appreciate the importance of the bonds that support us more than ever before.
