Snowdrops – when I was a child and I saw the snowdrops show up in the garden; I knew that spring was on it’s way. I took this picture today, next to a local church. It was amazing to see the re-birth of nature.
The title of this entry says it all – re-birth.
Throughout the past few weeks, I have been asking you to delve into your “self” and challenge your points of view and patterns, ways of thinking, behaviours in order to identify what is holding you back in your leap to a better sense of self.
Today I want to ask you to consider, if you were to be born again, would you make the same choices? Would you follow the same path? Would you choose the same friends? Would you choose the same partners? Would you choose the same career? Or would you change it?
With a next seasonal cycle; it is time to consider the changes needed.
The snowdrops in the image, no doubt, have their bulbs in the same place as last year, and the year before, and the year before. What perhaps has changed, was the number of flowers around, the number of leaves that fell last season to create the warmth it needed over winter. Maybe different other creatures fertilised the ground, to nourish the bulb, maybe it is deeper in the ground so it needs longer to sprout. What I am trying to make you think, dear reader is that in nature though things seem the same, nature always changes, it evolves.
And if nature evolves, I wonder what makes you want to stick to the same thing time and time again. Its nature evolves and revolves, what makes you the human – who is part of nature, so obstinate that change is so difficult.
Think about change as an upgrade. Think about how the phone you have in your hand is not the same phone that came out of the box. Every day your phone updates, the apps upgrade, the operating system upgrades, then why do we the humans decide that staying the same pays off.
Isn’t it time for a re-birth?
