Ahh, spring! At last, the days are getting longer, the frogs are singing their songs in the evening. The first sprouts bring hope, inspiration, and show the power of hope and perseverance. This was the most rain I have seen for many years, here on the mountain. Located in the bowl of Mill Creek, this land gets the benefit of shelter from Cone Peak, which translates into clouds bouncing back to return with more rain, rather than blowing over the edge of the Santa Lucias. We got plenty of moisture, the trees and grasses are overjoyed.
The growth continues....the grasses get taller. Before more than three weeks have passed, the paths fill up with vegetation and the simple act of crossing the front yard becomes a feat of picking a path through waist-high grasses! The photo above shows the wisteria which is just now showering lavender and white, poised above the cerinthe, with its dark purple Cerinthe came up thickly this year and presents a great contrast to the call lilies in the back. This is a small sample of the jungle that I call my yard.
Fortunately, I am blessed with having my pathways weed-whacked so that I can see the beauty of the fruit trees and of the land itself, sculpted out of the huge mass of growth.
It makes a great metaphor for creativity. Life is like a garden, with new things coming forth every day to be seen and noticed.
So many ideas, and where does the energy to fulfill them come from? How can you tell when something is really a great idea, and when it needs to be cut down so that you can see what is really all around you?
What would it be like to KNOW what ideas really are in line with your own best self, what you REALLY want?
And to take action on them, with support that helps you stay on track?
