An Anecdote from Sunflower

“I stand tall in the light of the sun.  I observe you noticing me.  Your head tilted in wonder.  Your eyes shining with joy.  It feels unimaginable to pass by and not notice me, does is it not?  I mesmerize so we may be on this journey together.  I have so much to reveal dear one.  Lean in to wonder, embrace joy. 

When it feels as though you have lost your way, reconnect to innocence.  RETURN.  Watch sprouting buds and tender heart shaped leaves drift with immense purpose from east to west.  Following the sun.  Knowing its passage clear blue and cloudy gray skies alike. Receiving.  Day in, day out.  Receiving.  Until bud turns to bloom. 

When it feels as though you have lost your way, reconnect to wisdom.  RETURN.  Watch abundantly petaled flowers sway in the late summer’s breeze.  Rich golden nectar slipping from the face, drawing in delightedly curious winged pollinators.  Grounding in the east, the house of the rising sun.  Knowing light never disappears, not even when it is out of sight.  Offering.  Day in, day out.  Offering.  Until bloom turns to ripened, then fallen, seed.

When it feels as though you have lost your way, reconnect to community.  RETURN.  Watch expansive roots, spread confidently, making space for young maiden buds, crone spiral-coded seed-faced flowers, and all chapters in between.  Interconnected, on a single stem.  Receiving and offering.  Day in, day out.  Receiving and offering.  Unconditional love. 

My revelation for you is this: receiving and offering exist not in isolated vacuums of this multi-dimensional continuum.  Receiving and offering exist in symbiosis, as a reflection of absolute worthiness.  Receiving cultivates fertile ground.  Receiving bestows the fullest expression of soul-hearted offering.  Offering cultivates respect.  Offering bestows the fullest expression of soul-hearted receiving.   An incredibly intricate, yet simple, vision indeed.”
