Preparing The Way For Something New - Feb 09

As Liz shelters beside a river swollen by heavy rain, she notices that a tree trunk—lodged there for months—has finally been carried away by the floodwaters. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, she reflects on how, in times of real challenge, the surge of unwelcome circumstances may be exactly what’s needed to loosen what feels stuck. Perhaps in the midst of difficulty, we are being cleared and prepared for something fresh, new, and hopeful.

Wonderful reflection Liz. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻

For me, facing a difficult situation means there's a lesson to be learned. And the gift is learning it in order to become a better person.

Your message today reminds me of a quote from Anias Nin: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." The catalyst that brings forth change.

So true. Look for the blessing/gift/truth … something you wouldn’t have expected.
