Watering the roots of our relationships...

Relationships are not always easy. They take effort, two people working together as a team. Today I want you to remember that you are not a failure simply because your relationship didn't work out. Love is a delicate balance of giving and receiving. I'm not speaking of money. I'm speaking of a delicate giving that is taught to us at a young age. Or, should be taught to us at a young age.

This morning I sat in the sunshine with my dogs. Feet in sand I prayed. I found such appreciation in the sunshine hitting my face. How it warmed my entire body from head to toe. I wrote this poem for all of you who may feel as though you are failing. There are no mistakes in life, only lessons.

I love you, go love yourself

Andrea

Watering the roots...

One forest

Thousands of trees

One tree

Hundreds of branches

One branch

Many leaves

What tree shall I choose?

There are so many

There is one tree that is pure poetry

Beautiful, mystical... angelic

But I forgot to water this trees roots

The roots that I planted

Then there is another tree It seems easier to manage

It blends better with the other trees

Why can’t the first tree be easier I asked the wind...

Why can’t the tree quietly display it’s beauty for all to see?

Why does the tree look as though it’s leaves are fading?

The wind replied ...you didn’t put forth the effort to work with the branches so your tree would grow...

What we water grows

What we ignore dies
