Sweet Peas have been sooooo slow. They're a bit of a disaster this year.

Bizarre colour combo as a result of the beautiful rain we're having on burnt ground - illuminous green with a backdrop of browns and black.

Makes for a stunning scene.

To all women today, who innately carry within them the ability to nurture regardless of bringing forth a child into the world of their own or not.
We have all been a child.
We know exactly what is required to lovingly care for the young, to 'mother', to nurture, as needed.

A joyful 'Mother's Day' to all women.
A day to appreciate what we, as women, need to be appreciating about ourselves every day - the whole world benefits from a women who moves in her living Stillness and acknowledges her natural nurturing ways.

It's Sasanqua Camellia time.
The camellia with a perfume and the little nectar eating birds birds are loving them.

Recently I had a conversation with a gentleman who expressed he felt uncomfortable working in the presence of workmates who constantly pressured him to join the 'Fitting-In Club'.
It required him to drop his quality of being, his level of respect and the quality of the workmanship he offers.
He continued to stay steady and not be drawn in which, at it best, brought jealousy in its various shades.
After some time of offering a different way he could no longer stay in those conditions day in day out.
He left.

So many of us have a need to 'fit in' but do we stop and ask ourselves what it is we are aiming to fit in to?

What is this model based on that so many of us are keen to do most things to fit into?

At what expense does it come.

And is it a model that is aligned to something that actually supports us.
It seems not given we need to drop substantially to 'make the cut'?

If we take a look at history (and more appropriately, in the now) its a model that has us going around in the same circle on repeat just in different scenarios.

The application for fitting into this club certainly doesn't accept the appearance of a new model that calls out the indiscretions of the old, so there's obviously no opportunity for evolution within it.

And yet we desire to 'fit in' oblivious to the fact it may well be holding us ransom to a far more loving and fulfilling way of living and moving.
The fear mongering attached to this club has many of us held in its grip.

So what happens when the puppet strings start to snap and the glazed over vision begins to clear?

Maybe there's another way of being that we're remembering....

I mentioned the phrase 'rinse and repeat ' to a friend this morning in regards to a reoccurring incident.

In our comfort we can allow so much discomfort.

We go along with situations that are in fact abusive and in doing so we continue to feed/donate to the very cause - literally.
We respond time after time when sometimes the very action needed is to observe without action or reaction.

Job descriptions often require us to be "sympathetic, empathetic" if we want to be employed but what are we really offering in terms of service?
A space to continue what is clearly not working?
A holding pattern that allows no room for evolution out of their situation?

To always be the observer
And in doing so
Become the reciever
And from recieving comes the response.

How is is our focus throughout each day?

Are we aware of the quality we bring to each moment or are we rushing through our day just 'getting the job done'?

How does it feel when there's a steadiness, a presence in what we bring to each moment, a purpose without the haste, without the tension that rushing brings and how does that affect the activity and those around us?

Treating every moment with preciousness can bring so much healing simply from the quality of the movement. 💗

Nature has a lovely way of providing sometimes the not-so-subtle basic level of messages/reminders for us.

This gorgeous rose may well be a 'sign post' expressing that when we truly connect to the universal beauty that resides with in each and every one of us then, and only then, do we need to show it in every movement and flaunt it for others to feel it and be drawn to it as well.

And as the daylight closes
and the night settles in

That gap between the two

When all becomes settled and a gentle stillness arrives.

There is a reminder from the heavens

That maybe

Just maybe

Not all is as it seems

On this level of life.

That there is so much more if we just open to the possibility ....
