Just back from vacation and had the pleasure of touring the Frederick Meijer Sculpture gardens in Grand Rapids, MI. What a delight and treat for the senses, I highly recommend it!
As I photographed the beautiful lotus flowers, this came to me. This is how it is sometimes, we are stuck in the darkness of our minds, unable to move forward towards whatever it is we are seeking. The mind keeps us busy with anxiety and fear, creating the perfect environment that prevents us from moving forward.
Here we stay, until ready to move, up through the mud and muck (like the lotus flower) of our thoughts and the busyness of life that keeps us distracted from our goals and dreams.
Taking that one step, that first step towards forward movement, allows us to bloom in the awareness that "I can do this" whatever "this" is for you.
Accomplishing that small task of taking your first step towards whatever it is you are seeking, how can you not bloom?
