Lessons from my garden

19/7/2011

As I move through the story of my life there are people There are the people who play a minor part in it, moving in and out in quick succession. 

They are like 'cab driver #2' in a movie...no deep emotional connection, but part of the story none the less.

Then there are those who play a huge role in it. 

They teach and inspire me. 

They challenge my beliefs or inspire me to a greater purpose. 

Or they are doing things that I don't feel right about

I hold on out of a deep sense of loyalty for what the relationship once was.

I would fight and hold on, often until I was hurt too badly to
do anything but let go.

When their part comes to an end, even though I know the
relationship wasn't healthy, it's very hard for me to let them go.

Today as I tended the plants in my garden

I came to a realization...

Plants have to be allowed the space to change and grow

And if they aren't, they will die

If I'm so desperately holding onto relationships that aren't growing
with me,

I am not allowing myself the space I need to change and grow

I am not allowing the other person to change and grow either

So today, I'm choosing to go into every relationship with the
knowledge that it will come to an end

I can embrace change when it comes knowing

whether I label it as 'good' or 'bad'

it's all from Goddess and for my highest good

I will treasure each connection I have for however long I have it.

I know so many women who are dealing with the issue of letting go of relationships that no longer serve them. I feel, like you do, that plants need to be trimmed to be healthy. We don't allow the dead flower or branch or leaf to stay holding on, because we know it is taking energy away from the plant. So we trim it. I also choose to celebrate what was and thank them for the experience. That helps in letting go. It's not discarding that way.

Thanks Lisa! I think honoring what was is a huge key to being able to let go of what was. But I think going into relationships with more conscious knowing that people do change is an important part of being able to let go.
