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?

http://www.freenaturepictures.com/lily-pictures.php
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!!

Patience........ brings forth beauty...

http://www.freenaturepictures.com/rose-pictures.php
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!

We are made NEW...

beautifulfreepictures.com

How would we live our lives
if
we truly realized
that we are
made
 New
in each and every
moment??

We breathe...
moment by moment...
What if
We lived that way too?

We would be free
from our PAST 
and
Who we thought we were...
To live and
BE
Who We Are..
Right Now...!!

Begin today..
And
Live
Each moment
in
 Newness and Joy!!



Hold in prayer...

Let's hold in prayer
all Beings, affected
by changing weather
patterns..
Thank you.

Be the bright spot...

Beautifulfreepictures.com
I almost ignored this simple flower...
and then I realized...She is the bright spot
in an area that seems drab and life less.
Her very brightness,
 might be
just the boost needed
 for more vibrant growth all
around her.
We too,
can be that same
bright spot
for those around us,
and those we encounter
in our daily journey.
Enjoy
being the bright spot
today and each day!!
