New Life Sprouts

I have forgotten to eat because I have been gazing at my trees again in awe.

The new sprouts.  The wet and dark trunks to portray strong and beautiful silhouettes of the trees.  The dew dripped from the leaves ...

The misty weather these days is perfectly mirroring the weather inside of me as I prepare for pruning and repotting.  I experience the fog as a holding, loving presence as well as an invitation for me to lean into the mystery of life.

When we go through challenges we try to remember that it's like we are being pruned.  Our struggle is great.  It will challenge us to our core. But that makes room for our new growth and new life.
