You know, I remember years ago, looking at a flower growing in my backyard. It was mid spring and it had bits of snow sprinkled around it that had fallen that morning. It appeared so strong, vibrant, and determined amidst the cold layer that surrounded it. I was dealing with depression and I recognized that unlike this little flower I was stuck, not moving, not expressing, not growing ~ frozen. I wondered how it could continue to grow without being effected by what was happening around it. It was so inspiring! Little did I know that this moment and teaching from this beautiful flower would open me up to a world of possibilities. Being who we are, regardless of what happens around us is our challenge in life. Our experiences are challenges to learn and grow from, they are not there to stop us. When we take the time to understand our lives and the people and experiences that we come across, we clean the window of our Soul and we flow with greater purpose. We are continuously presented with ways to evolve ourselves to a deeper understanding of who we are. This awareness is powerful, it allows us to live our life with hope and inspiration. When we are filled with hope and inspiration this is what we share with the world! That's how we get to feel! If you could reach back to who you were before all of the layers of life took hold of you, you would find that you are divine light and love just as precious as that little flower that grows among the spring snow ~ the snow teaches you, deepens your perception of life and exposes the roots of your divinity ~ strengthening the awareness of who you are. Don't stop at fear ~ learn and grow, look at it until you gain understanding and a path will open up before you and YOU will be lighting the way. Just imagine a world where we all held our Divine light..... we would shine as one.... well now that has a ring to it.....We Are One!
