nature knows how to bloom, and so do you
Over the last few days I’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors, we’re in Virgo season afterall, a call back to nature, and all her wisdom. For me, that learning has come through all the autumnal flowers. I love their muted tones; the mustards and plums.
And as I walked by a flower last week I thought about how unafraid they are.
Flowers don’t ask permission to grow, or question their place in the world, and they don’t see another flower and close up their petals, thinking they aren’t as beautiful.
If they did, earth would lose so much of her soul.
And as I write this post, on a rainy afternoon, I’m thinking about flowers even more.
How willing they are to receive support, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Even when that support feels like a storm.
Because when it rains, flowers don’t push that rain away. Instead they sit patiently, absorbing all they need. Knowing that those drops of rain are needed for them to take up more and more space.
To bloom even further, to grow even more.
And so they accept the rain, and allow it to move them forward. Stronger, and more resilient than who they were before.
