"Sometimes meeting someone has nothing to do with what
you can provide for him or her and everything to do with what
God needs you to recognize in that person. If you didn't understand
the message, God will keep sending the same person or situation
into your life."
Shannon L. Alder
The tree of life dangles various pods, sprouts and flowers for our viewing. We often make the mistake of plucking the bloom from the tree rather than speculating its full meaning. We tend to be too eager to take ownership of things belonging to nature.
All for what purpose ... our fear or pleasure in the mind in an unconscious state? All that surrounds us can provide information, insight, or guidance if we but slow down to feel the essence of the moment. Without respect, we pull the flower, unconsciously swat at the bee and mindlessly squish the ant.
When do we recognize the same pattern surfacing in friends who appear to be vastly different? If life continues to give us sour grapes, when do we change course and allow to be guided in a new direction? How many times will we allow our hearts to be crushed before we love and respect the deepest part of our selves?
