When you live in the Mojave Desert and the average daily temperature is 108 Fahrenheit (105 in the shade), things start to wear on you. Tempers become as hot as the sun baked rocks, and patience become thinner than the air. It's on days like these that I try to focus on the important things. Like this small wild bell flower. Living, growing and still showing its most beautiful side, in spite of all the surrounding harshness. I try my best to always share the love and light that fills me - but - there are times I'm faced with the harsh realities that I'm still a simple and mere mortal. I pout when I don't get my way, go off budget constantly, eat far more than I should, and should plan ahead far more than I do. Yet in the end, I find solace in my imperfections knowing that I'm part of something far more bigger and important than just my Human whims. Surrounded by Magick everywhere I am, like these lovely flowers I caught on film. Surrounded by love in every Spirit I touch. Respected and honored by the Universe with every manifestation that comes into realty. And blessed beyond blessed to share it everyday with YOU.
The world is shifting, people are changing, tolerance and acceptance feel like it's at an all time low. While on the other hand, it flourishes into freedoms and glory.
So, just like this delicate bell flower, that has made the choice to thrive, to grow, to bloom in the face of all adversity...so must we. We must CHOOSE to weather the heatwaves and storms of this era one day at a time. Of course we all are only Human, but When someone is short with you, take an extra breath. If they cut you off in traffic, wish them peace and safe travels. Be the most beautiful flower you can be in the midst of these cosmic changes. Because THATS what will outlast the test of all time.
Know that you're not now or ever ALONE, and together we shall overcome and flourish.
