From the Heart
It’s not the number of petals that makes a flower any more beautiful. Flowers are not concerned with numbers they just grow. It’s not the number of things we do in life that matters either, but the feeling we put into each action that makes life beautiful.

If we stop and take a good look at ourselves, peal back those layers like the petals of a flower, we will find the true self. The self that is at the heart of each of us, that which is full of love and forgiveness, that which does not judge and simply knows us in truth. Think about those layers, can you allow any of them to fall away, can you find your heart centre?

The pathway of a the flower is clear, from bud, to full bloom to decay. The flower continues to grow, moving through all these stages of her life in absolute beauty. Does the flower already know her path, is she connected to the eternal source when she reaches up to the brightness of the sun, is her life just a small part of her journey home. Be the flower in life, accept and relish each moment for what it is, knowing that it is all part of the eternal journey.

The pathway might be challengingly times, frost may cover the hard earth and the outlook might appear bleak. If however, we change our outlook and look towards the light, we might just see untold possibilities. The next step will remain covered until we are ready to see it.

A flower might get burnt by the elements, weather conditions such as wind, sun, rain and frost may cause it damage dependant on where it is planted and what challenges life presents it with. We can also get burnt in life on occasion just like the flower, but like the flower, it does not always mean the end. We can continue to stretch ourselves out and grow, we have at our disposal the power and strength of spirit to do this. Ultimately those difficult episodes in life can act as a blessing, if we can just gather ourselves up, treasure and focus on what we have left.

Wings are made to fold over one another when not being used in flight, some flowers close up at night and many butterflies emerge from a chrysalis in the morning. Nature shows us that taking time out is okay, it’s helpful and sometimes necessary for our wellbeing.

Some days it’s okay to give in and admit you might a little broken or weary. It might be you are sad, tired, sick, or just not able to be as strong as you usually can. It is quite natural to take time out, look at the tree or a flower after a storm. Life knocks us about sometimes, we need to take care of ourselves, acknowledge our feelings, cry if we need to and give ourselves time to mend. Like the flower with its head bent, be good to yourself today, knowing you will lift your head again tomorrow.

Wherever we are heading, however much we need to understand ourselves, there is something about family that is intrinsically linked. We find ourselves in looking outside of ourselves sometimes in those relationships closest to us.

It might be just a small weed but it blows freely in the wind spreading itself far and wide. I think that the pleasure it gets from what it gives out maybe far greater than the adoration other flowers might get from their beauty. It doesn’t take an awful lot to leave bits of yourself with those you pass, kindness, happy memories and something to think about. It’s a beautiful thing to touch others with love and kindness as you pass along your way.

It can take us a lifetime to understand the real meaning of love in our lives. For a number of people to find, live in and become love is their very purpose here. Like the foliage on a tree that transforms into a beautiful picture of warmth and love before it dies, we too radiate love out into the world once we know and understand it.
