While Out In the Sun

Three days of intense sun, and the roses are ready to bloom.

Maybe that is how your most precious ideas can blossom too: expose them to the sun — the light of your awareness — and to the heat — your love.

And what appeared to be some unidentified branches in the wind will be renewed by green shots, leaves and buds, and soon enough by the fragrant part that holds the honey, the flower.

Sometimes I wonder about those less visible threads between living beings, about how much plants in the same ecosystem help each other mature and how much the needs of the local animals — the birds, the insects, the fish, the amphibians — encourage them to grow. And how that consciousness of “It is time! It is time to go green again”, is stimulated by the sun.

Well, that translates to the human plane too:

one soul’s turn to the light and tap into the power that makes things grow and that lets things grow affects others in the surroundings. They too are touched by the same source of light and by the example of how the light can be used to grow into a more abundant state.

It is so satisfying to notice the connected reality of all life, even the connected reality between minds. It is all the more pleasant while basking in the sun.
