At times in life it can feel like we are out in the wild, the environment is harsh and it feels like we are very much on our own. Sometimes we are in the right place, even though it might not feel like it, sometimes we go out into the wild to give it life.

Blossom soon covers the harshness of winter when spring arrives and those harsher days are soon forgotten. Enjoy the blossom of life changing for the better, but don’t forget the lessons the challenges taught as the seasons will always change again.

Some of us have big holes inside, holes of experience that need filling with love, holes that need care. But as we continue to grow these can be the things that make us special, these can be the very things that make a difference to those we meet.

Closed or open minded, we are all going the same way. A closed mind will just not see the destination as clearly as the person who is open to the experience.

As the flower sheds its pollen despite the fact it may not ever reach its destination, so we should send love out into the world. The flower sends in attempt to create, our love if sent can make a difference and create something wonderful, to send love out is to make that difference.

Just like the flower needs to pull from it’s roots to survive, we need to stop being so top heavy in only relying on what goes on in our heads. We need to start working, as in nature, more with the whole body, responding to those messages from the root, heart and soul.

To survive the arid conditions some plants adapt their lifestyles, physical and behavioural mechanisms to enable them to survive periods of drought. Some have adapted and grown extremely long roots which provides a better chance of acquiring moisture. Some shed their leaves which allows them to store more water, some remain dormant. We all go through periods of drought in life, times of stress and adversity, periods in which we are unable to control the events that are happening around us. Sometimes it seems that the world is against us and we are not able, or fighting to hold onto the things we need to survive. There is something to learn from remaining grounded during periods such as this, letting go of what does not serve us and keeping our emotions in check until better days come along.

Each flower in a bunch blossoms and opens independently of the others. Each with its own beauty and individual essence. Together they are something to behold, the sight and smell breathtaking but each got there itself, each pushing itself out into the world, each with its own individual strength. Isn’t it time we took notice of the lessons of nature.

All flowers tell a story, only one flower will tell it as it is. Life is a succession of stories but only one of these stories belongs to us.

At times it can feel like everything is falling away, like the petals on a flower, those things we held dear one by one drop away. Life as we know it changes and it can feel like everything that has been established over time is breaking down. This can be frightening, we might go into panic and try to cling onto what no longer serves us any purpose. Nothing stays the same forever, if we are to progress we need change, we sometimes need to be out of our comfort zone to move forward. Accept the changes that come, even the difficult ones and trust that they are all part of the greater plan.
