How beautiful it is to watch a flower, first a closed bud, swell and
open to the sun and sky. It does so leaving itself completely open and
vulnerable, and yet it shows no sign at all of trying to hide or close
itself up from life. Looking at nature, I take hints from it on how to
be. The flower blooms because it must in order to live, to be, to
become. I am like this! I know it is so. I grow sad, despondent, dark
and scared if I do not continually open to the greater reality that is
before me and that is present in all things. This is not some
intangible anymore. It has been much like a tuning in of a new channel.
It is a choice. I can see my hurt or I can choose to see my happiness
and count my blessings. Take a cue from nature and from flowers, for you
ARE this.
