1 0 0 0 Petals

Spring is the one season that visually and aromatically defines the renewal of life.  The fragrances of new beginnings surrounds us at every corner we turn, filling the air with the illumination of-- nature and her beauty. While each chapter of our life has its challenges, we can still remember that any obstacle and page we turn back in our life, eventually becomes our past.  Whether memories are pleasant or not, the past is still a place we cannot return to, for it does not exist.  What we can focus on is how we are, in many was like a lotus, constantly flowering.  The Hindus call our center (our heart) a lotus for this very reason. Each one of us is considered to be a one-thousand-petaled-lotus, which symbolizes that we go on always and forever, blossoming. When we look at ourselves in this way, focused on our center, we have the choice to view existence  as a Perpetual Spring. Simply put, we are continually making use of the sun and rain, shedding old petals for fresh new ones. Flowers and trees are like children. Born beautiful and budding. When Watered Well, (and not tampered with…) they  can better grow to their full potential  because of that nourishment and love. Nothing and no one blossoms out of ignorance and neglect.  Nature, when not polluted feeds all growing things and beings.

So for today remember:  Up is where you want to go. The sky has no limits and either do you!

So, when that Clock is about to strike 12 and that noon train is approaching around the bend; the tracks are laden with golden bricks pointing in a Direction and your life is asking you:  Decide, Decide, Decide...what will you choose to do?  Listen to, your heart or your mind?
