"Each flower is a soul opening out to nature."
- Gerald De Nerval
When is the moment when flowering turns into fruiting? It is said all of the Buddhas are conceived in the spring. I once experienced conscious conception. It is a moment out of time.
In the sacred tree moving meditation, this is a holy moment, the fullness of flowering, the potent magic of the zygote dance. Which flowers will be followed by good fruit, as 'by their fruit they are known.'
If our flower shows our hopes and plans, then our fruit is what we make. The flower is our wanting, the fruit is what we create, with our thinking and wanting working together.
It is a labor of love. Spring colors swirl and dance, flirt, envision, tryst, enchant, and play. In the 'be a tree' meditation, spin around, reach out your flower fingertips and be tickled by the sunny warm breeze. Stand in beauty one moment. Leap with joy into the sky the next. Catch a partner by the hand, and dance. Meditate in silence by the water. Watch butterflies.
"Flowers are love's truest language."
- Park Benjamin
Dance to the very rhythm of your soul and you will have true love. Only thus can your true love recognize you.
Follow the rhythm of your soul to know to when to choose. For choose we must, not too soon or too late....
(From the Be a Tree Moving Meditation book)
"The Earth Laughs in Flowers."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
