I find myself in a place that I am very familiar with, the chance to birth a new vision for myself, to create a new way of life, to grow and flower into the beautiful artwork that Nature continuously does everyday. I learn from the natural environment that life is forever on the move. So why do I have a core belief that I am "safer" if I stay with the same job or ideals? Why do many of us live that way. Nature is our teacher, she is speaking out to us... grow, change, and become the fullness of the mature apple tree or the magnificent flower. And what happens next to the apple tree or flower? The apples drop to the ground to dispense seeds to grow new trees. The leaves fall and the branches are bare. Come Spring the buds show again and a new cycle begins. The flower starts in a seed that pops through the soil, the stem grows towards the sun, then it buds, then the petals spread and whala! we have beauty. The insects drink from the nectar of the flower and then the flower begins to wilt, die, and wait until the next cycle of life for it.
Today, I must think like the Apple Tree. I must put aside my thoughts of fear that I will not be able to grow and let it happen. Apple Tree in my back yard is budding now... And so am I. I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of my labors manifest into a way of life in which I can offer nourishment to those around me and fulfill my own destiny of life.
