Like the trees, we each have our hidden brilliance and I hope that revealing it doesn’t wait for the next lifetime! What keeps us from showing our colors, our authentic selves? Fear of rejection, of showing all that we are and having it not be good enough?
The last leaf on the tree... Does it hold tight because it fears the long drop to Earth? Does it deny the approaching Winter? When we maintain our tight grip past beliefs, our obvious green, we fail to show our deeper colors and we panic over the periods when our “branches” can look a little bare.
As Thanksgiving approaches, let’s be grateful for all of it… green, colors and leafless branches. Let’s embrace every bit of life with open hearts and the knowledge that the Spring will come again as will the transformations that allow us to look deeper, past the obvious.
Joyous Thanksgiving to you, dear friends.
With love, Rosanne
