Root in Rich Soil

Spring is such a great time of year! Our days get longer and the smells get sweeter.  The birds' songs return in full harmony with the budding greenery. It is great time to become thankful for the cycle of life. 

Over this winter I reviewed the seeds that I planted last year and examined the harvest.  Spring is when I take inventory of what is growing and what is returning to seed. I examine what is dead, dying or no longer needed in my own life.  I realize what never took root and will decide if I want to try again this year, under new conditions. 

I continually examine the seeds of inspiration within and around me.  I am filled with such sweet anticipation of my selected seeds. I will plant them thoughtfully and prayerfully so that they might be drawn out by our springtime rain and our summer sun. 

You all have given me the soil in which to plant my dreams as well as the sun and water for them to grow.  I thank you for your yoga journey and look forward to seeing you on your mat!

"The roots of all or lives go very, very deep, and we can't really understand a person unless we have the chance of knowing who that person has been, and what that person has done and liked and suffered and believed." 

Mister Rogers

Sometimes the storms of life can literally bring us to our knees.  Spring for me is spiritual surrender to realize that of myself I can do nothing, but there is a power in me that can!  so many of us spend our entire lives resisting the idea of surrender. We, as a society/culture/individual see it as a weakness.....giving up.  I know I did. 

Our darkest, life's thunderstorms (please read Vitamins for the Mind) make us hit a point where we realize that the moment of surrender or letting go is not when life is over.....it is when life really begins.

Live thoughtfully.  Live prayerfully.  Surrender. Practice metta (loving kindness). Root yourself down in good, rich, fulfilling, joyful soil and bloom brilliantly!

 

Namaste,
