Spring is here!
20 March 2009Today is the first day of spring. Here in San Diego this is of much less significance to me than it was last year when I was on the East Coast.
Nonetheless, I heard an interesting quote today — “Growth is always followed by pruning.”
When we lived in Northern California along the bay, I had several tree roses and smaller rose bushes and after a hard day lawyering, it was relaxing for me to trim my rose bushes. In winter, I gave them a good pruning.
So, when I heard this quote today it reminded me of my roses. Right now at this crazy time in history — are you experiencing pruning?
In what areas of your life have you been pruned? Perhaps financially, professionally, spiritually? Has your practice suffered during these turbulent times?
Whether or not you will experience growth again in spring, summer, and fall is in large part dependent upon how you respond to pruning. Do you embrace pruning?
Do you learn, ask, seek, and dig down deep into the soil of your life. Have you been nurturing your vision and your dreams during the dark of winter?
Pruning can be a wonderful time of healing and when embraced can lead to future growth.
Where are you at right now? Is it time for spring in your life, or is winter lingering?
Embrace pruning and make room for new growth!
Never give up!
