Mums from grocery store, kitchen table, new house
One of the things I love about flowers is there is such a sense of exuberant abandon when they open.
It's like they are saying a hearty "YES!" to life and to what is being called forth from them.
We are settling into our new place, and I feel like after months of shedding petals and pruning, I'm opening to bloom again.
Unlike this flower, my petals are not yet fully open, but I feel that instinctual pull to surrending to the bloom that is forming.
I'm not sure about the size or shape of the bloom that's opening, but I know it will be uniquely mine and, I hope, it will be exuberant in its allowing the fullness to emerge.
I'm excited to see what unfolds.
Tell me, what's blooming within you this week?
