Recently I wrote about the quote:
“And the Day Came When the Risk to Remain Tight In a Bud Was More Painful Than the Risk It Took to Blossom.” – Anais Nin
This picture was with the blog. There is hope, and there is potential, but it is clear that the beauty is still coming.
And this is the picture I took this morning. I invite you to keep this picture in your mind this week, remembering that there is great beauty in living with the courage it takes to bloom.
But as lovely as this flower is, I am challenged with the question of where I am resisting blooming? Where do I hide in the potential of the bud or the hope of the bloom?
I did not expect this Christmas gift to challenge my soul in this way. I am grateful for the questions that have come from this beautiful bloom. It is time for me to risk blooming in some areas I have rested in simply budding.
How about you?
