Deeply Rooted...

beautifulfreepictures.com

Without the strength of each stem...

Without the soil bed holding each stem..

There would be no bud

There would be no Blooming..

So it is,

with all Beings..

Let us give thanks

to all who hold us up...

and all who keep us deeply rooted...

Thank you Luv...

for giving us to each other...

and for

deeply rooting us

in You!!

Extremes or...What do you Choose?

This beautiful Lily flower family

helps me to see

the balance..

between

relying on myself

and

relying on others.

Living with a physical challenge,

I have struggled

with

avoiding dependence

and

building independence..

seeing the two as

 either, or..

This same struggle

seeps into my

relationship with"Luv."

My name for God..

I want to prove.. that

I can stand on my own too feet

and not depend on anyone...

I am independent!

How does "Luv" fit

in such a relationship?

As I have danced the two extremes

I have come to realize

I want neither..

I now choose..

interdependence..

which speaks to me

of

All Beings together

relying on one another..

in the natural world

and the human..

for the good

of the whole.

Alone and Together

we journey

to the fullness of

Who we are...

and "Luv"?

I am seeing and understanding "Luv"

as a Partner...

Together, each of us

is responsible

for our relationship

and for the journey

to Fullness of Life

that we walk Together...

I/We are never alone...

Thank you dear Lily Family,

for helping me

to move away from

the dance of extremes

to Interdependence...

And Thank you "Luv"

for our Partnership...

and for being with me always!!

See the Goodness...

all around you!!

Our culture and world demand

Instant results....

Nature tells us a different story...

"Honor the unfolding process....

in yourselves...

and all of life"....

Rose opens...

slowly...

Revealing her intricate Beauty

little by little..

She is in no hurry....

and delights

herself and others

with her gentle dance

into fullness!!

Thank you Rose...

for your wisdom...

Help us to take delight

in each step

of our journey..
and not rush

the process!!
May we honor that same unfolding
in the lives
of all our family members!
