Thinking About Transformation...

Wondering about how things change,
and if it's always achieved through personal effort,
 or is it sometimes possible that there are greater unseen  forces at play.

Nest...

Nest...

Empty Nest...

New Nest...

It's kind of temporary,
 it's about safety, purpose...
 instinct.

Cozy no extras,
a place of nurture...

Then to be set free to fly.

Looking At The Positive...

 At times it seems a bit negative to want  to curl up in a dark quiet place.
That's when it helps to remember where Caterpillars go to get their wings...
Not all transformation happens in full view.

Hatching...

There are many instances where hands on helping is really important.
However, sometimes the most important things have to be done alone.
Watching the struggle can be excruciating...
and you feel that not 'helping' is being cruel.
But to get strong and develop independence,
 there's a time to do it yourself.

Seasons....

Remind us that change is necessary...

Who Do You Want To Be?...

It's often tempting to want to be someone else,
but in the end it's always better to be yourself.
However being comfortable with that can be a bit tricky.

The Big Test...

Fruit... that's the test.

What do you get after all that hard work?

Is it sweet, good, nourishing and beautiful?

Or is it hard, bitter and inedible?

Growth...

Usually, things grow better when you pick them and share them.

Where The Seeds Grow...

You plant seeds to cover the recently dug up garden disaster,
then after a downpour,
they mysteriously appear all 'Emerald Green Carpet' around the drain pipe in the gutter.

Just like life, you plan and hope for things to go a certain way,
 and strangely it's all meant to be completely different.

You Have to live in hope that what's meant to be will be,
 and you don't have ultimate control.

The Web...

Useful...Beautiful...Deadly....

So much of nature is a puzzle and nothing seems to be exactly straight forward,
 it all depends on your perspective.

Change...

Things are constantly changing around us,
 and  within ourselves there is  constant change.
Sometimes we resist, and don't like it at all.

However it's great when change brings us more freedom,
 more beauty and the possibility to see things from a whole different viewpoint.

What's Going On Under The Surface....

When your roots are down deep in rich soil,
and are well watered.
You're  more stable, than if you find yourself in shallow soil without much water.
You need a strong anchor to negotiate  the winds of life.

Restless....

Like Autumn leaves,
turning changing floating down in drifts.

The thing is  if you rest more
(be a bit settled and believe every thing's moving along at the right pace)
You'll actually be less restless.

Are You Listening...

What you need to know and take notice of is often beyond the words,
for a deeper understanding,
 you need to listen with your heart.

There's Always A Lot Going On...

The little seeds that are sown everyday
can always be depended on to give you a surprise.
You've just got to try and plant the
the seeds of things that will bear the fruit of goodness....

Planting Seeds...

Let your love grow.

The Secret Ingredient...

Put a little love into it.

You Have To Love Crack Pots...

Or  are you a bit of a crack pot...

Not a problem...
Looking at things from another perspective,
half buried and planted with herbs it can become a shelter
 and a focus of usefulness and beauty.


You don't have to be perfect to be useful or beautiful.

From The Garden Of Life...

Sometimes, just when you wanted everything in nice neat rows,
something pops up in the middle of it all.
It's random, doesn't particularly fit in, but there it is.

You dear reader have to decide
 if it's meant to remind you of something, or to show you something.

 Because often it doesn't matter if it's a bit different or a bit out of line....it's OK.
Not everything in life can be controlled.

Make A Wish....

Or sow a seed.


Sometimes it's hard to say if it's a wish or a prayer,
 however maybe when we let our deepest thoughts and desires out
 and set them free...
we are planting seeds that someday,
somewhere  will bear the fruit of dreams.
