It’s a beautiful Sunday. Spring has arrived late. Overwhelmed by the demands and deadlines I have to meet, I impulsively dressed and escaped by driving 70 kms to visit Araluen Botanic Gardens. I went to see the tulips. They bloom beautifully, all 100,000 or so in spring. But, I was two weeks too late.
The gardens are undulating. The eye candy helped me stop and catch my breath. Among thousands of flowers, the ones that caught my eye were the ones that shone in the light. The light, it seemed, came from within.
What comes from within is important. It is nurtured there by self, and adjusted by others, throughout one’s lifespan. Nature and nurture. If the combination is right. If the influences are right. You get an optimum result.
Every so often I come across people where this calibration has gone wrong. When it does, it is quite tragic. What doesn’t shine, shows. It is visible to all except self. And, therein lies the tragedy.
May you find the right light to guide you today.
Until next time,
As always
