I am always amazed at how we can see our lives reflected in nature. Everywhere I look I see bright green, bursting with beauty and life, surrounded by the brown, the dry, and the dead. So, too, are we. Moving with purpose into new growth, and at the same time witnessing parts that no longer serve us. We can be grateful for friends, relationships, habits, and attitudes that helped us in the past. No need for shame, anger, self-loathing, or frustration. We, too, are part of the natural cycle. We move, change, and grow, and will continue to do so. Are there parts of your life that you are ready to let go of? People? Ideas? Self-images? Habitual ways of being? Acknowledgement is enough. As we bring these things to the light of awareness, they will naturally fall away- in their own time. Don’t push the river!
