Creeper & Tree

In life, we all need one another to some extent. Life would not have been interesting if it was to live life alone. 

I watched a creeper come up to top of a tree that for a moment I thought the tree was a flowering plant. However it was the flowers of creeper which could reach to such height because it has the ability to climb and it selected the tree, somehow the tree also allowed the creeper to thrive upon it. 

It would be wrong to say here that only the creeper is at its benefit but in helping the creeper to grow on it, the tree itself is creating an opportunity to turn into a flowering plant, so to say. 

Likewise, in our life, in an attempt to allow others to grow through us, one gets the opportunity to enhance one's essence. Had it been the false ego of tree that somehow allowing the creeper to grow through it, is its mercy or favor, then the tree would not honor the flowering part which has happened to flowering reality through the creeper only. Honoring other's presence for good in one's life is also a graceful way to discover one's existence.
