I talk a lot about "weeds". Well I have a new take on "weeds" (depression; depressing thoughts, depressing things that happen to you etc). This post is really for my friend that is going through a tough time.
This spring I noticed two weeds that looked different from the rest. As I cleaned up that garden area I decided to leave the two weedy things thinking maybe they might actually be something. Turns out they are the most beautiful flowers I have seen in a long time, wish I knew what they are.
So anyway, the weeds that turned out to be beautiful flowers got me to thinking about other things related to weeds. Take roots for example, they are normally born in darkness, some water, but most buried deep down in the dark. The beautiful flowers had to start with roots at some point, and look at them now. Anyway, my twisted little mind began to equate all of this weed/root/beautiful flower thing with dark moments in our lives.
I'll bet this is where some beautiful things start, just doesn't seem like it at the time. It's the same as if you only saw the root of a plant, you wouldn't know exactly what it could be until it had gone through the whole growth process.
My final thought...Something beautiful can come from your darkest moment, you just don't know what it is.

If you only saw the roots you would probably just think them a tangled mess of dirt, dig them out and throw them away.
ReplyDeleteAt the "root" of everything beautiful is something dark and twisted that has grown and blossomed. People can do the same, just most don't ever realize it. But first you have to pull the "weeds" and give the blossom a chance to grow. Sounds like maybe you are starting to weed your garden.
Wow, you are getting deep. Next you'll start writing poetry. LOL
