The Cycles Within Us

This short piece is a reminder to respect the natural cycles we go through. In our modern world, we often feel pressured to live in a permanent state of energetic productivity, but everything in nature is cyclic. Seasons change, our bodies change, and our energy levels fluctuate. If something within you is asking you to slow down, give yourself permission to stop, breathe, and quietly sway the way trees do.

Trees can't flower continuously,

And neither can we.

There's a time for flowering and a time for shedding,

And a time for waiting patiently and saving energy.

There is a time for bird songs and a time for insects flattering around,

And a time for sun rays and a time for raindrops.

And then the time comes to be quiet again.

Our bodies are like trees in motion with their own cycles,

And we need to respect those cycles to preserve our health and our sanity.

So take a deep breath with me and remember that your body is sacred.

And think about that the next time that you rush,

That you fill yourself with stuff that doesn't do you any good,

That you get trapped in the belief that this is all there is.

Sway and sway and sway,

Because after winter comes spring.

Beautiful reminder that we can embrace these cycles rather than resist them. They are a natural part of life.

Simply put and simply beautiful. Respect the cycles in life don't rush the process, and it will all turn out perfectly 👍

In the world where productivity is everything and rest is minimalized, will become something that is less than human, and goes against the laws of nature. This brief, profound talk, reminds us, of who we really are in all the cycles and seasons of our lives.

Oh well that was just what I needed, dear one. I once pondered if I plant flowers in winter and tended them just so, could they blossom?. But, alas, to every thing there is a season
