As the gardener of this most cherished place, this inner garden, I am learning to take responsibility for its condition and to consider how I might choose to plant it differently. Perhaps I'll change its shape and appearance. Perhaps I'll simply commit to taking better care of it.What I also am learning in my garden is that I must be gentle with myself and appreciate the rhythm of my own personal growth. Just as the gardener cannot coax a plant into flowering before its time or into becoming anything other than the self that was contained so perfectly and completely within its seed, so I am learning to stretch each day a little more toward the sunlight and deeper into the earth, knowing that I am unfolding in awesome splendor, one magnificent petal at a time.
