A spindly bush
has limbs
and branches
that begin
to grow haphazardly,
with some
limbs not getting
enough light
so it may grow
and flourish.
And do you not
with gentle care
look at the bush
with an objective eye
and with love
begin to prune
away what no longer
serves the bush –
cutting away the
limbs that do not
bring nourishment
or add to the health
of this plant –
letting the limbs
be absorbed back to
the earth?
And is it not
amazing to see
when growth returns
to the place you cut –
is there not usually
a multitude of
fresh new starts,
that emerge from
a single limb,
filling out the bush
as it flourishes and grows?
And do you not
with gentle love,
look within
with an objective eye –
and with Love
begin to prune away
what no longer
serves your spirit –
letting what does not
bring nourishment
and light
to your soul
fall away to be
absorbed back to
the earth?
And is it not
amazing to see
new growth begin
where now there is
room and space
for Love and Light
to nourish the growth
and to see what
shape it takes?
Tend to the
ever-evolving
Garden of your Soul
with loving hands
as you pull away
what you may have
outgrown –
as you make room
for what Love continues
to create within You.
Nourish.
Grow.
Flourish in the
Love That You Are.
