I love to see the grass turning green and hear the birds singing. Each turn of the season also reminds me of change. For many change is not easy, myself included.
Sometimes we like to hold onto old ways of being even if they do not suit us. We may not want to give up relationships, connections with friends, or maybe even jobs. Holding onto something that does not serve us well can be comforting.
I know that I have fallen back into the same patterns of letting people hurt me because I was afraid of risking leaving an old relationship or situation.
We may feel that we do not have enough wisdom or courage to handle what comes up. I don't have all of the answers or maybe any of the right answers if there are any "right" answers. I do know that from my own experience that whether we take a chance or not we are going to make mistakes. I know that when we make mistakes we gain a great deal of wisdom. Sometimes when we say goodbye to a relationship, job, or family member it opens up room for new relationships and new growth in our lives.
Some of our weeds turn in to beautiful green rich grass nurtured by a stream that never goes dry. It is new growth that we created by letting go of what was no longer serving us. It is not saying that we do not love this person or job or idea. It is that we have grown in a new direction, and we need to nurture our garden to make sure that does not get overgrown with weeds. That is our job. We cannot do it for anyone but ourselves. It is about loving ourselves enough to say I must sprout my buds.
Peace!
