The Beauty Grows



While I was walking in my yard the other day and taking pictures of flowers and the trees, I was just amazed at the life I saw. Where was it before. I have lived here for 23 yrs. I guess I wasn't paying attention. It is true what they say about being more attuned to life and the beauty around us when we become more spiritual. I notice so much more now.
Everything is growing fast and wild with all this rain and humidity. I took a picture of my day lillies and noticed that a wild grape vine was trying to strangle it. That day lily showed all of it's beauty even though it was fighting this vine. It reminds me of myself. Life trials try to get me down. Stress strangles me to the point of not being able to breathe. I can either cave into it and let the depression and anxiety take over or I can fight like the day lily and bring the beauty of the Light within me to those around me. Maybe that Light will help another to break free of their vines. If we all worked at freeing ourselves from these vines and let our light shine bright and touch the hearts of others what a beautiful world this would be.

What a lovely visualization this would be. Seeing those vines just fall away and the Light shining brightly from within us grow and grow and soon touch another. Then the vines of that person would fall away at the sight of this Light and the Light within that person would grow and grow and touch another and another. Seeing this in my mind brings me joy. I hope it will bring you joy also.

This Little Light of Mine, I'm Gonna Let it Shine!!!!!!!!!!

Love Anne/Emerald
