My heart's garden

My heart's garden

On our grateful walk this weekend,
Bella spotted a baby iguana in the process of molting.
I thought about how
part of the truth found in nature
is that letting go
is a necessary part of growing.
Trees let go of leaves
to keep growing.
A butterfly lets go of being a caterpillar
to keep growing.
Iguanas and other reptiles shed their skin
to keep growing.
I’ve been weeding out
what it has been time to let go of
in my heart’s garden
to witness
peace expanding and
compassion sprouting up,
as I grow.

May today find your
heart’s garden
naturally letting go
allowing peace to grow
and your inner beauty to continue to bloom.
