Learning From Flowers
I can learn alot from a flower. A flower grows and changes effortlessly, from bud to colourful, petalled beauty, no drama, no desire to be anything other than what it is. A flower opens without fear, because this is how it receives the light it requires to live, and the vulnerability it shows in opening is what makes its beauty even more dazzling. It offers its gift of radiance to the world unconditionally, expecting nothing in return. The bees come with love.When its petals begin to wither and grow brittle, the flower weeps not, for it has lived in all its brilliance, and fulfilled its destiny. How can there be a sadness for a life lived fully, in openness, with love? And when the time comes for the flower to die, it does so without pain, or sadness or fear, for death is not an end, but simply another change in the great circle of life.
