Blossoming from Within

The art of taking care of orchids had eluded me so far. Time after time I watch as they perished slowly, probably because of over watering. It feels similar to over thinking situations instead of allowing life to unfold and not sweating the small stuff?

Some time ago I received a spectacular Orchid as a gift. Lone and behold, shock horror…slowly but surely one flower after the other dropped off and soon it was only the thick green leaves staring back at me. Looking at this ‘failure’ I was tempted to get it out of my sight and into the dustbin, but I could not bring myself to discard it. I gave it a little water whenever I remembered and one day I noticed a strange looking root growing upward. Soon after, in rapid succession, flowers started budding and literally exploded into a symphony of orchid splendour!

A reminder that even when we reach a point of hopelessness with poor self-esteem, self- judgement, repeated failure and disappointments, there is a full bouquet of blossoms within each one of us waiting to flower. The miracle of transformation resides in each one of us – we need to do our emotional ‘work’ and take responsibility for what is our part in the life situation we find ourselves in so that we can feel truly alive.

“Your mind is a limitless garden. Your thoughts are the various seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.”

May you find the courage to do your inner work so that you can notice the blossoming of little miracles unfold every day everywhere around you and within you!
