I am looking at a vase of Dahlias from my parent’s garden. My eye is drawn to a flower that seems to be all the colours of the sun. My energy starts to lift and lighten as I appreciate the perfection of the flower, each petal itself is perfection. The flower seems to be craning upwards as if to say “Thank you”.
As I concentrate on the flower, I have an insight. Although each beautiful, perfect petal is individual, it is part of the whole flower. It doesn’t have any awareness of the fact that it is a ‘single petal’, it is just part of the flower. Why don’t we as humans see that we are ‘parts of perfection’? Parts of the ‘Whole’ Instead we see ourselves as separate. Each petal making up the whole of the flower seems to be joyous, proud of being part of the beauty of the flower. We are not separate from the ‘whole’, or from each other. We just think we are.
Disconnection
Disconnection is a feeling of fear, it’s panic, scatttered thinking. Its restlessness which spirals into fear thoughts racing through one’s head. Its like drowning and looking for anything solid to hold onto. And then, deep in the ocean of disconnectedness, there is a voice of reason that says “Stop – and just be”. The tempest calms, the raging ends and cohesive thinking begins once again, I’ve reconnected.
