We all have contained within us seeds of beauty, strength, compassion, understanding, creativity, love… seeds that must be nurtured in order to blossom. The trick is to discover the right environment within which to grow. It’s not necessarily a place, but more a state of mind.
What does it take to get it just right? Well, for me it all starts with honesty and self-acceptance; knowing that if I stay true to who I am, that is more than enough.
The Jewel
There is this cave
In the air behind my body
That nobody is going to touch:
A cloister, a silence
Closing around a blossom of fire.
When I stand upright in the wind,
My bones turn to dark emeralds.
– James Wright (1927 – 1980)
