Till the Soil

“Untilled ground, however rich, will bring forth thistles and thorns; so also the mind of man.”― St. Teresa of Avila

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Opinions, assumptions, judgments, wounds, control, unforgiveness, the past, worry.
Heavy weights to carry.
Rich soil beneath our feet becomes concrete.
Stuck in old ways, patterns, people pleasing, approval seeking.
Put it down.
Again and again.
All that is not yours to carry.
Lighten the load.
Deep breath.
Be kind to yourself.
View broadens.
Soil tilled.
Blooms ready to break ground.
Color, freshness, beauty in changing self, not circumstances.
Open heart, light spirit.
Till the soil of your mind.
Watch what blooms.

“Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.” – Raymond Lindquist
