From the Heart
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.

Like the flower, each one of us will reach the point of opening. We might hang back a little, but there comes a point in our lives where we just need to trust that nature knows best and go with what feels natural.
~ Liza
If we could look back on the path we have taken to reach this point, how many of us would fully understand our life stories, are we not just products of our experiences? If we are to fully understand ourselves and move forward, it is helpful to look the events that brought us to this point. As an observer, stand a little to the side and play out those scenes. What did we learn from those difficult episodes, what do we understand now and how can we care for ourselves moving on?

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.

How do you see the flower, is it with your eyes only or is it through the flower being present in all your senses. Do you feel the flower in your subconscious, does it communicate with you through your screen as you sit with it?
Do you connect with my presence as you read my words and if so, what is it you feel. Can I leave my lounge and enter your world just by sharing my thoughts with you. Can you feel the authenticity of a person through their words on paper, or through a book they have written. Is this the same if something is written that does not sit well with you, or blend well with your understanding of life? Interesting isn’t it how we are drawn to others we have never met, we feel a connection with them, trust them and even care about what happens to them.
If we are all energy, can we not communicate and blend without being present in a room? I believe we can, I think that we can go anywhere if we are accepted and welcomed. I think it probably boils down to acceptance because if something does not sit well with me I shut it down, stop allowing it in, and refocus myself.
Look at the medium of Skype, how real does that conversation feel, for me when I am connected with a person there is no difference to if they were sitting across the room. I hold consultations over Skype and have used it for my own benefit. Reading what someone has written is the same for me, it’s as if they are communicating directly with me, I feel them.
I know I’m asking a lot of questions here, I probably have all the answers somewhere too, inside in my subconscious, floating around waiting for the right time. I just think these questions are fascinating, they are food for the soul.
So tell me, how close to you am I now as I ask them?

The world, a flower, the moon and sun are all round, like a circle if we draw or visualise them. The petals around the centre of a flower make that circle bigger, from a daisy to a sunflower the circle grows. I believe love is like this, if I could draw love I would draw a circle.

Every living thing on earth is made up of energy. A tree and through it, to each individual leaf, fruit, flower and petal. A field and each and every blade of grass, crop and speck of soil across it. This energy works together, joining as a mass of energy that drives the world forward. Each one of us is the same, from a group of people to each individual, down to each atom within us, our potential is immense if we can harness this energy.
