Flowers of the broom




Walking in my neighborhood in the past months, all I could see besides the beautiful evergreen trees were lots of bare, rather dull bushes: boring, graysh stalks sticking up in all directions, with neither grace nor beauty. This morning I went again after a couple of weeks and I found an actual explosion! The bushes had come to life. The deep green of the branches made a contrasting frame to the striking bright yellow of thousands of flowers blooming everywhere. A transformation, hardly believable, had taken place in such a short time! But, I thought, the preparation for such miracle must have taken several months. Can you think of a time when you found yourself totally drained, almost lifeless, with neither spirit nor enthusiasm for anything? Then, if you had let it be, i.e. no resisting, no rejecting, no judging, just BEING, havent you experienced a rebirth of creativity, of zest for life? Life can be wonderful indeed, when you follow its golden rule (ALLOW).
