Spring is here today~ Tend appropriately

They say that you should always look both ways before crossing the road.  
You should also look up before leaping to grab onto a branch, look down before taking the leap from whatever object you are standing on.  This is to ensure your landing is solidified.

It's always about the safety of whatever actions you may or may not take, to ensure that you're covered for the after effect of that action.  Even the things that come out of your mouth should always be thought about, in a moments time, to ensure you don't poison the flower you are watering with your words.

Last time I was here, I admitted to being fearful.

And it was mostly for my own well being, my own safety, my own heart.  But by admitting to those fears, not just for myself, but openly to anyone in the world who could possibly read it, I did something then...  

I started to let go even more than I already have in the last year...and it's been wonderful.  

I also know that with Spring arriving it makes me want to dive into gardening, make me notice the sun a bit more and what is happening all around me.  






Gardening takes time, kind of like other things in life.  So I have some tips. 


~ If there are seeds that are planted by anyone who says they want to grow with you, water and sow as necessary.  
But be careful not to soak or parch heavily.  
Seeds can die with too little or too much attention.

~ Don't let anyone invade your garden with weeds, tend to them, turn over, pull them from the roots out, make a pile and burn later. 

~ Pay attention to where the wind is blowing you and where the sun is shining, your roots generally know where they want to take hold of themselves, you just have to trust the process. 


~ Grow and expand the loving, good parts of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.  Doing so ultimately feeds and fuels the goodness in our soil, relationships and it enriches our lives.  


And finally...you're not meant to garden alone.
