June is a wonderful time here in PA to appreciate flowers 🙂 My patio garden is the inspiration for these words.
Life is Like a Flower Bed
Growing and unfolding every day
Reaching for the light
Blooming fully in its own time
Sharing joy by simply being
Bending with the wind
Offering sweetness to the world
Facing the challenges of the weather and changing seasons
Finding its place among others
Sewing seeds for the future
Rooted in its own middle ground 😉
….. So fertilize it and tend to it.
Give it room to grow into its full potential and beauty.
Then let it be and enjoy it all!
Find Your Middle Ground 
Beautiful picture as well as the thoughts portrayed through word.

Your garden is gorgeous, Val!
Your poem reminds me of a saying I painted once for a mom-to-be: “Love grows within. You are the garden. Nurture yourself.

Thanks Nancy. I can really relate to growing and nurturing! I also love to split plants and move them to create new patterns and palettes. Its my canvas these days.

Thank you Diana. In my early days as a coach my tag line was “grow for it”. I used a lot of plant metaphors back then … I guess that’s where I was in my life too 🙂
