Just came back from a couple of workshops where participants had the wonderful opportunity to get in touch with their essential goodness, and appreciate the unique and beautiful in each other. It is heartening to witness an overflow of joy --- a letting go of negativity that hinders --- and allowing one's self to be open to possibilities, start fresh, and move forward.
There is a lot to learn from the world around us. When i feel stuck in a negative pattern in my relationships or trudge wearily along life's paths --- i need to pause and just take note of the natural order of things. After a dark night i find that "Morning Has Broken" --- that's an old Cat Stevens song. Always i am amazed when the tomato seeds that i have planted or rather, cast haphazardly on the ground are now tiny seedlings eager to reach upward. Then there are my husband's bonsai trees which went through a recent pruning leaving only a few branches that were bound by wire for shaping --- they now are like new plants, stunning with healthy new leaves that have sprouted as if with vengeance.
What are you stuck in right now? What patterns, or what thoughts are not working for you? This could be a wonderful environment for growth. As the old adage goes: bloom where you are planted. Here's to your breakthrough!
