For your consideration…
They say timing is everything. Spring is the perfect time for today’s message as it has the most perfect examples. Trees lose their leaves in the fall so they are not weighed down in the season to come. Letting the leaves go conserves their energy. It also creates the space for the new leaves in the spring. Right now we are watching the wonder of Mother Nature as she brings new life and growth as she awakens the trees and flowers.
As I have watched people pass from this life to the next, I notice how very focused they become. None of the things that they gathered and collected matter any more. All of the stuff that took up so much of their time and energy are not given a thought. All of it is simply let go. Their authentic self is fully present and leading the way as what really matters is focused on.
We are reminded today not to wait until that time. Follow the examples of the trees. Let go of what weighs us down; regrets, fear, disappointment, relationships, etc. The lessons of all of our experiences are still with us. All of them are waiting to be regenerated with the lessons we learned from them. We need to make room for them to blossom with new opportunities. A
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
