Blossoming in Gratitude
Moving deeper into Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, trees are budding, more flowers are blossoming daily, and we are awakened earlier each day by the chattering of birds and squirrels.
This time is one of rebirth, of awakening and blossoming. With the growing light, we are able to see the path ahead more clearly. Our goals and dreams of the future seem within reach, and we may find ourselves propelled forward by the innate power of growth. The power that allows a small blade of grass to split concrete on its journey to the light. The invisible force that manifests in all the amazing visible changes we are witnessing in nature during this season.
As we instinctively strive to grow during the spring, tapping into the life force of nature can allow us to reach our full potential. Remembering to breathe in the smell of fresh flowers can remind us to appreciate our senses. Enjoying the flavors of fresh seasonal foods prompts our appreciation for Mother Earth.
In these times, we may be able to both give and receive more fully and so it is a natural time to reach out to our friends and accept new opportunities. Remembering to do so in gratitude will allow us to grow without overextending. Much like a tree, always make sure our trunks can support new growth. Our ability to grow stably provides the foundation for longevity. And gratitude is the key to balanced growth.
Here in Spring, we have an intuitive opportunity to retool and shift our growth pattern. With more light and an increase in energy from the fire of growth, our pace of development quickens. Focus intensifies and projects mature faster. It is easy to get lost in this rapid process of maturation. Once again, we can utilize the power of Gratitude to maintain strong yet grounded progress in the development of ourselves and the projects to which we dedicate our lives. Staying humble in the realization of newfound progress fortifies our trunk of longevity.
This month, the invitation is to allow the natural expansion of the season and remember to be grateful.
