Even the tallest tree, the one that reaches hundreds of feet into the sky has roots that go deep into the earth. The higher we want to travel on spiritual planes, the more we need to learn to ground ourselves. Our roots need to go deep into the earth too.

… You are a soul, a spirit, but you have a body too. Remember and nurture your spirit, but take time to attend to your body. connect with the physical, connect with the energy of the earth…

Journey to the heart, Melody Beattie

Be patient with yourself. It takes time to workout issues, to work through things. It takes time to learn lessons. The more important the lesson, the longer the cycle to work it out, to work it through.

We may live in a technical age but our souls aren’t technical. They’re all connected to nature. We grow and change as nature does. Study her seasons and cycles and learn those same seasons and cycles are in each of us. The process of change is like planting a seed and watching it grow and bloom into a flower.
