Accepting Transience and Thriving.

 

For many years now I have used the analogy of the cactus seed...

I roll, I go, where the wind takes me.

But:  It seems that I flourish, which a cactus seed does not do, until it settles.

So what am I?  Does it matter?  All is well.  I live without an anchor and that suits me.

But people do say one needs to put down roots and grow...  Is that true?  I don't feel roots, yet I feel growth.  At least, I don't feel roots that are anchored.  I may have tendrils instead of earth-dipping roots...?  

Could it be that I get my nutrients from a different source?  Not from the earth but from ... just around, wherever they happen to be.  

Maybe nutrients come from fruit not from soil.

Maybe I like to reach up rather than down to find sustenance.

Maybe I like the idea of feeding from a different source from the crowds.

Maybe we are all called to look outside the brainwashed norms...

Maybe soon people will wake up and flow.
