My mother buried three husbands,
and two of them were only napping.
Rita Rudner
I love Spring! Each bloom and bud a reminder that I, too, know instinctively how to grow, that there is wisdom in being patient with my own seasons, that I can choose to move towards the light with no time to waste worrying whether my petals are too big or if I’m the best bloom in the garden.
From Deepak Chopra’s classic The Book of Secrets:
It is very freeing to know that on some dimension or other, every event in life can be causing only one of two things: Either it is good for you, or it is bringing up what you need to look at in order to create good for you. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities.
Evolution is win-win. Cause and effect aren’t just linked, they are linked in the most efficient way possible. Many good things come from bad decisions while many bad ones are tangled up in our good decisions. Life is self-correcting in just this way. As the choice-maker you can act on a whim; you can follow arbitrary or irrational paths. But the underlying machinery of consciousness doesn’t alter. It keeps following the same principles, which are:
To adapt to your desires
To make you aware of what you are doing
To show you the consequences of your action
To keep everything in balance and harmony

What beautiful eyes this Goddess has to see the beauty of Spring.
I too love and again feel refreshed as Winter turns to color.
The possibilities that gather in the corners of our minds; what can be, what will be…I wonder!
As the gate to the Secret Garden appears and opens, there before us are the flowers
that are our mothers past and present. Appreciate them, they brought us here.
Happy Mother’s Day, Sharky!
