Hi Lila,

This is gorgeous writing. We are so acclimated to striving to be in the light that we forget the darkness, too, has it's place. Life is cyclic. I love this:

"The flowers do not force themselves open all at once. They do not remain in perpetual peak bloom to prove their worthiness. They spiral. They pulse. They respond. They open and close according to conditions. They trust timing."

You've just given me new appreciation for the blooms beginning to reappear in my garden. I thank you for this beautiful, timely reflection.

Oh Nancy! I am so nourished by your response here.

Flowers have been my best teachers for years now.

I’m in school to become certified as a flower Essence therapist. It’s challenging, exciting and experientially mind blowing. 💐

"Their openness to the light is only possible because they remain rooted in the dark." Lila, I was thinking something similar just yesterday -- that awakening happens in the dark; it's only then that we can stand in the light.

Thank you for this beautiful piece. May we all root strong and not be afraid to open our eyes in the dark -- our sight will adjust and we will be better prepared for the light. With love and appreciation, ~stephanie

Dear Lila, powerful and insightful. A real truth is put right in front of our eyes. Drink it in like the tree drinks the sun.
