Three Strong Roots
To keep our commitment to our partner, and to weather the most difficult storms, we need strong roots. If we wait until there is trouble with partners to try and solve it, we won't have built strong enough roots to withstand the assault. Often we think we're balanced when,in reality, that balance is fragile. We only need a slight breeze to blow for us to fall down. A juniper tree has its roots planted deep in the heart of the earth. As a result it is solid and strong. But some trees that appear to be quite steady, need only raging storm to knock them down. Resilient trees can weather a violent storm because their roots are deep and firm. The roots of a lasting relationship are mindfulness, deep listening and loving speech, and a strong community to support you.
三个茁壮的根
要给予我们的伴侣承诺，去面对极大的问题，我们需要很强壮的根基。如果我们要等到有问题了，才来和伴侣尝试去面对，我们是没有足够强壮的根基去经历突袭。我们经常认为自己很平稳，但是现实来看，我们的平稳是脆弱的。一股微风就足够被吹倒。一棵桧树的根扎得非常深，所以才会如此坚固强壮。可是有些树看起来稳重，可是只需要一股狂怒风暴就可以被打倒。有弹性的树可以经历强大风暴因为它拥有很深很稳的根。能够让关系可以持久的根有：正念、深入倾听和爱语，还有一个和支持你的社区朋友。
