Sometimes it feels like things are not moving fast enough for our modern desires if rushing through everything. The thing we forget is that a healthy strong seed still needs time to create its roots and a strong foundation.
There are two types of growth -I have been taught by a wise woman I know – you can grow vertically and horizontally.
Sometimes our vertical growth seems to take its sweet time, we see everyone getting farther and farther until they disappear on the horizon and we feel like we are stuck.
If we move our minds from the stuck part – because ironically if that is what we think, that is where we find ourselves, therefore missing the opportunity to actually slow down and absorb whatever it is that we need at that specific time. Sometimes we need to grow horizontally, to extend our borders, to become stronger.
Both growths are worth our while. They both have a purpose, and when the timing is right, we will again start growing vertically, we just needed to stop for a while and fill our beings with this ‘fertilizer’ to makes us stronger to tackle whatever it is that is to come.
A humming bird weights 3 ounces – a nickel weights 4.5 ounces – and during migration they can fly over 3,900 miles from Canada to Mexico alone. In order to accomplish this task and to prepare for this amazing journey, they engorged themselves up to twice their body weight so they are well prepared to start this almost impossible task.
Be patient with the process, sometimes we just need to be right here, right now, even if it is not too comfortable and seems nothing is happening, have heart, an open heart that is, and save your energy, so you can get what you need for the journey of a lifetime which lies right ahead.
