FREELY GROWING

     Continuing on the blooming plant theme from yesterday, there is a raw beauty in bushes that are left to their own developmental shape, and something pinched and caged-feeling about bushes that have been trimmed to perfect, but un-natural, circular lumps. Let's not let the world cut us back and keep us so far trimmed that we lose our ability to grow according to our nature. And let's not cut ourselves back or keep ourselves so tightly clipped that we do the same thing. Let's allow for the freedom to stretch and reach in whatever direction we please as we rise towards the light.

I listen to my heart and follow its lead.
