Haiku – blossom

life blossom

Let your life blossom.
With roots secure and nourished.
Find your Middle Ground.
~

Find your Middle Ground is about stepping away from stressful days and anxious minds, and taking time to pause.

When we are mindful of the present moment and simply allow it to be, we open a door to our natural state of being – accepting, loving, peaceful, kind and content. Most of us are so distracted and moving so fast that we get caught up in the world of “doing” or worrying about what we should be doing next.
Too much doing and thinking disconnects us from our sense of “being”and who we really are.

I write about finding this place of connection, contentment and peace in the highs and lows of life. I call it our Middle Ground.

  6. I shall try to put this into practice Val. It’s not always easy to do because life is complex and awful things sometimes happen, but your seemingly simplistic verse is full of wisdom: the more rooted you are, the more able you are to take control of your life. Basically, taking care of yourself allows you to blossom, I think.
