2. The Bamboo That Bends (Ancient China — Taoist)

A rigid tree breaks in the storm. A bending bamboo survives it.

The Taoists were never impressed by a “strong mind.” They respected the flexible mind — the one that laughs, collapses, reassembles, wanders off, and returns with a cup of tea, saying, “Well, now, that was educational.”

This is story therapy without the armour.

The Fool Method says: You cannot control the wind — But you can turn your story into something that floats.

A story that bends does not break.

 It only changes shape.
