Clarification

I don't know if you will ever read this blog. Anyway if you do, this is something that I want you to read about the answer I get each time I ask myself if going to work is the right thing.

The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.

Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls - and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.

There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.

The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.

Commentary:

This card shows a small wildflower that has met the challenge of the rocks and stones in its path to emerge into the light of day. Surrounded by an aura of bright golden light, it exposes the majesty of its tiny self. Unashamed, it is equal to the brightest sun.

When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice: we can either be resentful, and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardships, or we can face the challenge and grow.

The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.

Osho's words ring so true. I thought I was imagining things the first time I got the answer. Then it kept happening each and every time. Hope you guys cooperate with gramma. It's for two-three hours and on Saturdays too. It's a big step for me. I've never really done anything compromising you two.

You both are scared of swimming. The teacher showed you bugs today, so you were excited. You've grown very thin. Really, my babies, you have changed the texture of my life- there was a picture of an albatross that moved me to crying one day, a lonely albatross chick waiting for its mother. Surely this must be the most beautiful relationship in the world, at least now.
