OUR GREATEST GROWTH IS IN OUR MOST TENDEREST MOMENTS



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.
