I saw a bud in my minds eye today as a metaphor of our desires. The bud is lovely, the color vibrant, but what’s inside is unseen because the petals are closed up in the bud. In every stage of the unfolding of this flower, the image changes and more beauty is revealed, until finally the flower blooms in all it’s glory and magnificence. The exquisite flower was always there, inside the bud.
How many times have you heard, ‘what you desire is already here’? It is.
It’s inside the bud of your desire. With patience being in the unfolding of each day, each experience, your life changes bit by bit and more beauty is revealed.
One day, you are living your desire or dream, it’s more fabulous than you ever imagined, and all you did was be with the miraculous unfolding.
Sometimes we’re tempted to get into control and manipulation mode to ‘hurry’ things along and ‘make’ things be the way we see them or turn out a certain way. That’s like opening a flower with our hands…all the petals fall away and everything falls apart, and we completely miss the miracle and the exquisite, perfect unsurpassed experience already designed in our desire.
Truly, everything we desire is already here, and more magnificent than we could ever imagine.
