The Flower Garden Start cultivating and fertilising your own garden What will you grow there? What do you want it to smell, taste, look, feel like? What will you weed out? what is not useful? How regular will you need to water? Nourishing, fertilising, tending, taking care, getting rid of toxins, anything that does not serve to what your vision is, anything that overshadows and chokes out life .. Watching seedlings turn slowly and surely into a strong stem Leaves of various shades of green start to sprout, branch out.... Reaching for the sun, taking in the light, stretching for the warmth........ fragile at first, needing extra special attention. Protecting them, gradually seeing the stem grow,gain in strength The root system reaches down deep within to where all the nutrients needed lay, searching for the moisture and goodness it instinctively knows is there .EVERYTHING it needs to sustain it's growth getting taller, stronger, healthier, more beautiful day by day Your sense of satisfaction seeing and experiencing what you have helped create... The anticipation of flowers in bloom.. Colours glowing iridescent in the sunlight, soft smells wafting your way through the summer breeze .. Your pride at something beautiful you contributed to in motion Until the day you find the first bloom, petals unfolding to soak up the sunshine, swaying gently , more buds are showing, the promise of more life strong, beautiful, healthy and independent!! You are transfixed with joy, it infuses and flows through you, you have helped nurture something truly beautiful Sure you know the work is never done, there will be weeding, maintenance, but you have the means and confidence to do it again and again you know it will die without water, but accept you have the power to prevent that happening, the feeling is like nothing you have experienced before, you know you can re- create as many flowers as you want whenever you want a feeling you want to feel again and again You need maintenance and water You need weeding and pruning to make space to grow YOU ARE THE FLOWER You too will be beautiful, vibrant and reaching towards the light
