Kuan Yin lifts her head.
The light is white and the energy is beyond surreal.
My heart stretches as I take in her elegance and grace,
Or rather,
As it takes me in.
You are strong,
She says,
Yet like the tree that never breaks.
Be cautious of the wind,
For it has the ability to take away your branches.
When you reach,
Reach for eternity.
When you stand,
Stand with dignity and pride.
When you sprout new ideas,
Make sure they are nurtured from your roots.
When you are in full bloom,
Be aware of your gifts.
When your leaves begin to fall,
Let them,
As they are making way for dormancy,
And through dormancy comes rest,
Rebirth,
And the creation of new ideas.
Allow the cycle to continue.
Kuan Yin nods her head and pauses reflectively.
Confidence is your base.
Desire your roots.
Awareness your branches.
Clarity your leaves.
Love is the trunk that shrouds confidence,
Desire,
Awareness,
And clarity.
To shade,
Shadow,
And shield others from the elements earth,
Wind,
Fire,
And water they are unable to permeate.
When roots are locked in place,
It can be difficult to thrive beyond the foundation,
Especially when you are uncomfortable with where you planted yourself.
Are you comfortable with where you have rooted your desires?
Are you confident in how your base sits above the ground?
Are your branches sturdy enough to support your clarity during life's elements?
Are you allowing your branches to extend to eternity,
The unknown,
Towards clarity?
Are you loving yourself as you stand here?
Are you planted in the dark or in the light?
Are you receiving plenty of nourishment through your roots to feed your confidence and awareness?
Clarity comes from trusting the elements of life.
Your love will still be standing there for you as love of self is your strength.
All of you are unique and yet fail to see the beauty in the magic of your differences.
When you have planted yourself in an area where your growth is stunted,
You limit your abilities to reach the depths of your desires.
Your confidence is constricted.
Your awareness is constrained.
Your clarity is clouded and your love is too.
Pick up your roots and transplant yourself into the soil that nourishes your needs to grow and thrive in the necessary elements that enhance your magical splendor.
