uncurling

From seemingly nowhere, 
a nub of growth sprouts.

From this small movement, momentum shifts and more
sprouts appear, curled and shy.

Growth happens in a brave moment of uncurling, 
when the underside 
is revealed and honored.

And sometimes, in peaking beneath a developing sprout, we see evidence of the old or the bruised, maybe appearing not ready to let go into growth.

Sometimes, though, the old and bruised 
serves as a foundation, supporting the new growth as it reaches out and up, 
joyous for the opportunity to show itself to the world.

Whatever the case, 







the old growth and new growth become a synergistic force, 
sharing resources and developing into one 
amazing transition.  

From this perspective, all parts are important. Old, new, fresh, degrading, withering, and uncurling.  I wonder...can I adopt this perspective for my own growth?

thank you to the lovely SL for inspiring growth in me

met a friend for some morning brew.

chatted about books and birds and birdseed

and art (dot, dot, dot)

& there was so much more.

life can feel like a crazy web

of pieces that must fit together into some order.

but sometimes all you need is...

a cup of coffee.

a sunny morning.

a friend.

it is possible to end suffering by living in the awareness 

that nothing in the universe is personal.

but we are taught to take life very personally, and 

we feel like "a someone" to whom "life is happening".

we suffer when we resist life.

we suffer when we believe life should be different.

we suffer when we think there is something wrong with life 

that needs to be changed or fixed.

 cheri huber from suffering is optional
