Deliberately Choose





"When you like a flower, you just pluck it.
But when you love a flower, you water it every day."

Buddha


Our inspiration dries up, if we do not nurture it.  If we do not remember our dreams, they do not come true.  If we do not maintain a connection, we will slowly drift apart.  If we do not increase our efforts, we will get stuck.

If we honor and respect ourselves consistently, we will expand and grow.  We will unfold like a  blossoming flower, reaching for the sun while raindrops moisten our soul.  Enduring high winds and understanding the need to respect the fore warning of a storm, we will remain firmly rooted in our well maintained soil.

If it is our choice to not cultivate our heart and soul, we aught not be surprised when we end up like a prickly cactus.  It is simply the difference between glorious unfolding, and complete restraint.  The first welcomes the sharing with others while the other offers a warning to stay away.  With awareness, we deliberately choose.
