WOW, what a powerful quote.... how often do we try to fix the flower? How often do we expect the flower to grow, and change and thrive to meet our 'standards'? How often do we neglect to 'fix the environment'?
What does this mean for me in my inquiry?
I must focus on the growth and needs of my individual flowers...
I must fix the environment...
I must make changes to meet the needs of all my individual flowers...
Changes around the push and pull factor are a constant challenge... a constant area of reflection for me.
Am I being too nurturing, too protecting?
Do I need to take the frost cloth off to allow hardening off?
Do I need to allow the frost cloth on for longer to allow for greater protection from the elements.
How do I allow the flowers to cross pollinate?
What is my role in pruning the dead wood?
What is my role in allowing the flower to reflect on it's beauty, and growth and purpose?
What a wonderful Saturday morning quote to really get me thinking...
Would love to hear your thoughts on 'fixing the environment, not the flower'....
