Bloomed? or Still Blooming?

Morganne Michel Pickering
In Harmony: Living From Your HeartMind

I just love the various greens as the new leaves make themselves present this time of year. I love seeing the new growth, the blossoms and know that all is unfolding as it should.

I greet the oft’seen trees, look forward to the ones that have not yet bloomed and know that there are some that will not present themselves again.

I believe that we humans are like trees…we grow (slowly) year to year, shed leaves (old habits, ideas that don’t serve us any longer), add new branches as we learn, become curious, love more, and also intertwine with other branches and trees as we reach for warmth and friendship/relationship.

Try this exercise:

Find a photo of yourself that represents each decade of your life. Get a pen and paper. Now lay the photos side by side youngest to oldest.

Relax. Now with each photo; remember where, when, what you were thinking, doing (work?) believing at this time in your life…write it all down.

NOW… Observe your (inside) reactions/feelings as you do this.

Do you see/acknowledge your growth…your blooming times…your stagnant times?

What does this mean to you? When did you fall ?… have to pull yourself up?

Who was by your side? Who did you help?

What forced? you to grow…pain?…curiosity?…. love?

So see… Leaves = us/the varieties. Blossoms = new lessons learned; ready to share. Trees = the constant yet changing, new shapes, the unfolding each year, becoming more.

We are all One…same life energy, same nutrients, same cycles, same desire to be the best we can be and know and complete our purpose here.

Do you have one more Bloom in you??

What is it?? What stops you??
