What stage of opening are you at today?
Can you see the light around you? Can you feel the raindrops, life, on your leaves?
Now is the time to blossom, to risk knowing and being who you are.
Yes, you can stay small, or you can rise and open up to this light.
What stage do you feel like today?
Do you need to be the bud, curled up quiet, in your own ‘world’ for a while? Perhaps a time of inward looking and pondering is called for. A time to reflect on where you are, indeed how you are at this moment, this part of your life.
There is no need to be the flower that someone else appears as, to you.
There is only a need to reconnect and to re- familiarise yourself with yourself. Your self, your soul and your life’s journey. Whatever that may mean for you now.
Yes, there can be times when daring to open, to blossom, to shine are just the perfect thing for you.
Yes, it can be fun and beautiful to radiate outwards, sharing your gifts and petals with the world – that they may see and know your own flower’s perfume.
Yes, this can be fun and exciting. But, and this is a big but, you cannot push to be amazing every day.
Every day is not the same. You come with different issues, needs, wishes and, of course, different people and issues around you.
Let’s just start with today.
What is it you need today, right now?
What would you love to have achevied or experienced by the end of this day, this time?
Start small, one little petal at a time. What do you need right now?
This can be as simple as a deep breath in, or out.
A drink, a hug, to dance like no-one’s watching.
To go for a big fun spontaneous run with a buddy, or alone.
See if you can tune in to what you need and then, with a little courage, focus and practice, you can really bring yourself home.
And the flower is exactly how, and where, it needs to be.
Tomorrow is another day, different weather and light levels. Think only of today for now.
