Springtime comes around and usually we just go with the inner directive to clean out stuff, reassess the place we currently inhabit - both literally and figuratively, and then plot new courses and forge forward with a renewed spirit and sense of clarity.
Funny that we have the tradition of setting resolutions at the turn of the new year instead of at the changing of the seasons; seems our inner clock is set to do it a quarter of the way in, no?
What appears to be key though, is to quiet the conditioned mind and allow the space to let your beauty emerge, to give permission to your drives and inclinations to carve out the individual spot that brings you closer to the daring truth of new.
Here's to plunging into the colourful blooming of you, no matter how dry the conditions.
"It's hard enough figuring out who you are - why mess that up by trying to be someone else? Who you are is both unique and new, and i may be just what the world needs right now. Remember that the next time you do something that doesn't feel right to you."

So so so awesome. What a great little tree. And did you just wink at me?
ReplyDeleteHow true, I often wonder why we choose the calendar's change of year rather than a seasonal change for setting our resolutions. My new year happens in September ... end of the summer ... time to retreat and recharge.

I know!! It's really a beautiful tree innit - *wink wink*
ReplyDeleteYou know, a clock resetting before the freeze makes a lot of sense to me - esp for NYC. But do you think this inner setting would change in a different climate or environment? Just wondering...
Berri, liking this tree ALOT. Need to talk...
