The morning started a bit off for me. A bit because of my hormones. A bit because the sudden explosion of spring and high temperatures triggers some of my fears - some of the sensations they bring in my body are so similar to these that belong to anxiety, and I find it hard not to let my mind latch on that and go in a downward spiral. I am working on it.
.
I went to work, to keep hands and mind busy. Create beauty.
.
And I was greeted by the sea of daisies in the backyard.
These little creatures always uplift me. Year after year.
I sat with them for a little time, while Pooh meowed and got some belly rubs.
I sat and listened to their song. Their cheerful, light spirit, as they bask in the sun, in their bed of green green green grass.
Their inner barometer that makes them open up on sunny days, and stay all closed and snuggled up when the weather will be grey and cold.
.
And I cupped my hands and collected their wisdom with gratefulness.
Yes, sweet little daisies, I will take each day as it comes. I will laugh and be bold in the light, I will allow myself to withdraw when the darkness is upon me - I will follow my inner barometer and do the best with my own weather.
Yes, laugh-full little ones, I will do my thing in my own way, I will show up to make the world a more luminous place - I may not be an orchid or a rose or some exotic flower, but my authenticity is all I need to call upon beauty.
And I will group up with my sisters and brothers - dandelion, self-heal, violets, primrose - and without competition we shall lift each others up, we, the humble flowers, the underestimated ones, ready to be heralds of hope and love for all those who walk on the earth.
