I’ve often wondered about new beginnings. Can we really start all over again? Can we wake up in the mornings and believe that it is a brand new day and we can truly begin anew? How do you view this topic?
Daisy: Okay, can we begin now?
Michelle: Yes
Daisy: Where do we start?
Michelle: Hmmm…I don’t really know. I guess sometimes that’s what people think. Where do we begin? When life becomes burdensome and challenging…the question floats around. Where do we start? Is it really possible for us to start again all the time?
Daisy: Oh heavy… I believe we begin from wherever we are and grow from there. It’s accepting what is and then move forward with the natural flow of life. Observe the trees. Everyday its roots grow deeper, its branches extend farther, its leaves multiply and grow stronger — all the while doing so without effort.
Michelle: I like that….going about life effortlessly.
Daisy: Yes, no resistance but acceptance. Contrary to what many may think acceptance is actually that which makes one move forward. At every step of the way many parts of a tree swells up and explodes which may look painful to us humans. But the tree knows it is a necessary part of the process to make way for the emergence of new leaves, flowers, fruits and branches. It is this natural occurrence that allows the tree to provide more shelter, more food, more oxygen necessary for the existence of all other living things.
Michelle: I like the imagery. If I close my eyes for a moment, I can see the glorious trees, flowers, and plants. And I breathe in their sweet scent. That makes me smile and hopeful I guess. We begin by accepting what is and effortlessly develop into that which we are to be.
Each day can indeed be a new beginning. Create a life of loving abundance now…from where you are.
