... Today's post is dedicated to the black panther that discovered her roar ....
For as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed the Ecclesiastes verse that shares wisdom about the balanced and cyclical nature of life. In the past I was often surprised and amazed by chance encounters with destiny - events that surpass logic and reason, yet were so compelling and ultimately significant to decisions I made about the course of my life. Right time, right place, right decisions, right purpose.
My life has been rich with such experiences; and although I am still in awe, I know longer doubt the authenticity of the moment when it occurs. I am beginning to realise that the more I live my life with a conscious intention, there is a greater chance that these situations will manifest themselves in my days.
Today I was acutely reminded that for everything there is a season and a proper time. Deep in our past we may have planted seeds of friendship, seeds of inspiration, seeds of connection. The life inherent within these seeds can be incredibly patient waiting for their proper time. Some seeds are never destined to germinate as the conditions are never quite right to spark creation. As time passes, we may forget to nurture those seeds, so they lay dormant. Then sometimes, a series of seemingly random circumstances conspire and a dormant seed comes alive with clear purpose - a friendship is formed, an inspiration is brought to reality, or an issue is resolved with alarming effectiveness. Some seeds grow rampantly, to quickly wither and die.
Sometimes we have to allow one season to transition in order for another to transform. If we allow ourselves to flow with the greater breath and cycle of life - grief can give way to joy; confusion can give way to wisdom; and pain can give way to wellness.
Flying Solo Tip 005365 : To fly solo does not mean to travel through life alone. Glide inside the broader breath of life and constantly plant seeds for connection. At the right time, and for the right purpose they will germinate and grow, bearing the fruits of wisdom.
