From the Heart
When you look into the mirror do you see your family staring back, do you utter the words they once said, have the same tastes, interests and suffer similar ailments? It is only nature reflected back at us in that mirror to our connection with past generations. Take the seeds that go to make the face of the sunflower that when planted grow into beautiful strong sunflowers. We are as nature intended and grow from the seeds of past generations.

Why do we stop in life, have periods of inactivity and sometimes repeat ourselves making those same mistakes. If we look at nature, a flower does not stop along it path, from budding it continues to grow, opening itself up into the world until it gracefully falls knowing it has given its best. Be the flower, keep going, opening yourself up to every possible experience.

We all began from a place of birth, sometimes a loving and nurturing environment and at other times more difficult. It’s not where you began that matters so much, but how far you can reach, growing into the world and adding your own individual beauty.

Nurtured, protected and given space to flourish, we grow our own individual beauty

I might be in the gutter now but I’m graduating high.
From these depths, I’m growing up and I intend to fly.
I had to hit the bottom hard, to understand my plight.
I cannot get much further down, so a bullet I will bite.
I will grow to reach my goals, stand up straight and tall.
Then when I’m big and happy, I’ll be careful not to fall.
Your looking very messy, I’d say you need a trim.
Overgrown, I do suggest you hold the middle in.
Fashion fashionistas would say you have let go.
Maybe true, you do look odd if that’s really how you grow.
Then your an individual, you like to be yourself.
Very understandable, but you have to mind your health.
Following your own journey, it’s really up to you.
As long as your expressions, are what you feel are true.
Don’t we all have to follow our own paths and remain true to ourselves. So I thought this little tree looked silly, but then again some might think I look silly, say crazy things have weird beliefs. I maybe a bit off centre, head in the sky and heart on my sleeve, but it’s what sits well with me that matters.
I had my hair cut and styled yesterday and the colour touched up. It didn’t really change me, maybe on the outside and maybe I walked a bit taller for a while but fundamentally I’m the same person I was before I walked into the salon. It’s the inside that is important and the parts of that we share with the world, our friends and family.
I would imagine this tree makes a great hiding place, a shelter for small animals and a nest for birds. Just because it doesn’t look so great doesn’t mean it’s not any less valuable. Walking past the tree yesterday, I suppose it spoke to me also because I stopped, took a photo and thought about it. So I thought I would share it on here to see if it resonates with anyone else. I think the message is be true to yourself, be kind to others and be magnificent!
