The beginning, the middle, the centre – starts only with a few. Four for the root chakra depiction, the beginning needs a stable base.
Life starts with only a few people in your life, those who an infant self needs for the survival. A few needs, possessions, abilities.
The circle widens, the petals adding – experiences, places, relationships, roles. Every single one forms the unique and amazing bloom that is me.
Some petals drop in the wind of time – others are torn away in the wind of change.
I look in the mirror of my life: a new line on my forehead, a child flying the nest, a parent needing comfort of the nest – is a petal. It adds, not detracts from the beauty
Every friend who drifts in or out, a new found passion or an old forgotten habit resurrected – a motif in the pattern.
And so I marvel at the bold and courageous flower that opens up to the autumn sunshine, if only for one dazzling moment in time.
