If your reaction followed along the lines of, "What??" when you read that, then you mirrored my own reaction upon first hearing that.
In one of my favorite classes this semester, Young Adult Literature, my English Professor stated this. I was quietly doubtful of this until she started to explain.
A prairie is continuously cycling through seasons. It withstands wind, holds a multitude of various plants and vegetation, and still comes back through the cold winter months to blossom and grow in the spring.
Sometimes life is rough. The prairie endures through cold and snow.
Sometimes life is really rough. The prairie is burned from time to time. This is only so that the old can be gotten rid of, and the new can come in. The roots are incredibly deep in the prairie, allowing the new growth to come in stronger than ever.
The prairie is never the same, but each time a new season comes, it comes up stronger than ever.
Just like life, sometimes all it takes is for the old to be taken away in order to find the beauty out of the new.
Pretty cool, huh?
