This morning as I pulled weeds I was reminded of the importance of awareness.
As I held each plant I felt a knowing deep in my gut.
Guiding and instructing me on how to pull each plant from the soil.
Some weeds uprooted quickly with a light grasp.
Others had long thick roots and needed a firm grasp and slow steady pulling.
When my thoughts drifted I'd squeeze tightly and be cut by thorns.
Or tug quickly and give the plant a haircut leaving the roots intact.
These were my gentle reminders to slow down and be aware.
To be present and live in my body.
To breathe beautifully and feel the energy in all I touch.
Slow down and relax.
Ground your energy low in your body and feel the ground always beneath you.
