The Beauty of a Summer Garden is in Its Abundance

Posted on by stilllearning2b

 

The beauty of a summer garden is found in its abundance.  The welcoming sunshine and needed rain uniting to provide the ideal conditions for growth.  Beds become a beautiful, riotous mess even under the watchful eyes of trained gardeners and hundreds of volunteers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They refuse to follow the rules and color within the lines; instead their reach extends into walkways, obscuring the path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The eye dances along the woven green tapestries formed by the intertwining stems.  Their bold blooms fight for attention and resist being reigned in.  These are not flowers to be controlled, to be clipped and tucked into proper arrangements.  Rather, these are blossoms of pure, unbridled exuberance.

There are seasons in our lives that are like a summer garden.  Times when our moments are filled with new ideas, new experiences, and new relationships.  Celebrate the abundance in those seasons.  Revel in the new growth.  Don’t be concerned when your path is obscured.  It will be revealed in time.  Don’t worry that the garden bed of your life is becoming too full.  There is time enough for pruning later.  Do not fret if your mind’s eye has trouble settling on a single bloom.  Rather, let it explore the interconnectedness of your sprouting life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stand tall among your summer blooms and enjoy the beauty of its abundance.

The Beauty of an Early Spring Garden is in the Details

Embrace the Moment

Dogs have a way of reminding us to embrace the moment.  Thank you, Tiger, for the lesson:)

Heal. Healing. Healed?

The Healing of the Wrathful Son

I’m not sure “healed” should be a word.

Heal?  Yes.  Healing?  Absolutely.  But, healed?  Past tense.  As in done.  Finished.  Over.  Completed.  Shut the door and turn the key.

I’m not so sure.

Some days I think I’m there, the wound healed over with no hint of a scar.  But that’s just wishful thinking.  A fallacy reveled when the wound opens from the slightest unintentionally targeted remark or interaction, triggering the pain and uncertainty associated with the initial cut.  At least now I have practice.  Practice feeling the pain and the fear.  Recognizing its roots.  Knowing what part of it is real and what is simply echoes of the past, ghosts that can cause no real harm.  I have practice accepting the pain and practice letting it go.  I speak its language.

It is said that practice makes perfect.  Will perfect be when I am healed?  Or will I achieve perfection in the cycle of feeling, accepting, and releasing?  Most likely, perfection will remain elusive and I will have to settle for better:)

Maybe I will be healed when I accept that I will always be healing.

ROI

English: Return on Investment analysis graph

The world of business is always concerned about the return on investment, the bottom line.  But, how often do we apply those same principles to our personal lives?

Your Thoughts

Do you place your capital in thoughts that serve you or into thoughts that bring down your bottom line?

Your Actions

Do you choose to engage in actions that help you to grow and evolve or actions that hold you in place?

Your Health

Do the foods you eat and the movement you engage in support your body or do they cause it harm?

Your Relationships

Do you spend time with people who add to your net worth or are they red item deductions?

Take some time to be conscious about your personal investment portfolio and make the needed changes to improve the ROI on your own life.
