Are You Blooming this Spring? May 2012
I'm having so much fun comparing nature to us 2 legged humans and
learning a lot about myself and others.
For example, my blooming tulips helped me re-remember the process of our evolution in man. As my tulips were beautifully blooming in full fledge brigade, one tulip just wouldn't bloom with "his family or friends". The stalk and green leaves holding him up was strong and seemed robust, but his flower just didn't want to open up...to bloom.
The next day I watched. No bloom. The following day, no bloom. The third day,no bloom.
Finally, I spoke to it. "Mr. Tulip why aren't you blooming? The rest of your group is and they all look so pretty. "
"Don't hover,"to my astonishment replied he.
Oh, hmm? I thought and thought and said to myself, what am I doing wrong?
"Have faith" he replied.
So I took his advice and said out loud: "you know I love you even if you decide not to bloom this season, for I know now that when you are ready and willing, you will bloom and your bloom will be so beautiful it will even brighten the stars!"
The next day...guess what? He bloomed and bloomed and bloomed!! His bloom was bigger than the rest and yes, the stars looked brighter!
Thank you Mr. Tulip. I have learned valuable lessons from this:
We all need love, faith, and patience in each other...and, oh yes, space to Bloom!
Sending blooming love to you all!
