My orchid had a magenta bloom on it this morning; it couldn’t help it.
My passion fruit is blooming and beginning to bear teeny spheres that will mature into soft yellow orbs. It can’t help it.
My papaya tree is dripping with oblong golden orange fragrant fruit; it can’t help it.
Even my basil seedlings, only a quarter inch high, smell like pungent basil when I stroke their leaf tops as if I were feeling the top of a crew cut; and they can’t help it either.
They are simply living out the life they were meant to live; they are doing what they were born to do.
Kate’s Turn:
We all came to be out of an act of creation. We grow and mature to our individual expression, evolving from that original seed that just keeps expanding into more of who we are. We are creative by nature; we are creative by design. We just can’t help it!
Spring is such a wonderful season to witness these miracles. Without effort or trying, given the right conditions, all seeds mature into their design. They naturally soak up the sun and rain and everything they need to expand.Following my urges to break out into song, or dance a little jig, or dress myself in a creative way are all evidences of this natural gift: creativity.
Cultivating and nurturing my creative urges in a consistent way foster a more defined creative expression. I just need to get out of the way and give myself the right conditions to foster the expansion of an ability I carry within myself. We all do! We just can't help it!
Get Fired Up:
· What are some of the ways that “ you are caught in the act of being yourself: creative”?
· How can you draw from the wonders and patterns of nature to foster your own creative expression?
· For example, how do you need to get out of your own way to allow your creative expression more room? And how might you give yourself more sunshine and rain to foster your own creative expansion?
The Full Moon on May 27 is called the Flower Moon. How do YOU wish to flower?
