I am now very grateful for the fear that ‘who I am isn’t
enough’! Inside the gift wrapping of fear is the purest gift of my deepest
love. My fear which from the outside didn’t appear to resemble a gift in any
shape or form, and which up until this moment felt like it had a power over me
like a storm buffeting a tree. As the tree learns so do I, as those stormy
winds blow, I dig down deep and put my roots well below the surface, and deeply
connect with the earth. The stronger the winds the more I learn the value of
flexibility and flowing with the seasons.
If the tree was scared of the wind and saw fear as a STOP
sign, the tree would become rigid and be thrown off balance, and even be
uprooted, and lay a waste ever blaming the wind.
If instead as the tree I see fear as an INVITATION to be
what I love to be, I would start to learn about myself and realize that one of
my deepest loves is to grow, and isn’t it magic that at my tenderest moments
when I am most vulnerable is where I grow the most. And it is these very tender
new shoots that by their very nature are perfectly designed to be the most
flexible and flow with the winds as they twist and turn. It isn’t the tender
new shoot that get broken, it is the more rigid ones. How true for us that it
is that to which we most tightly hold that is of most risk of breaking.
Tender new growth by its very
nature is flexible. Things that we hold very tightly are indeed rigid and the
first to break when the winds of change blow our way.
