Wishcasting: BLOOM ❀




On this cold, windy, un-Springlike day I am answering this week's Wishcasting prompt by standing up and loudly proclaiming:

I wish to Bloom where I am
As I am
In this moment
with laundry piling up
groceries to put away
house in total disarray

I wish to Bloom in this moment
even as a slightly frazzled
scatter-minded
errand weary
limp little plant

I wish to Bloom
in this Moment
embracing all of who I am
no more excuses
no more holding back
out of fear
or uncertainty
or lack of incentive

No longer putting things off
until some magical
better moment
and no more apologies
for any of my buds
blemished
imperfect
unopened


I wish to Blossom
through the cracks of my life
knowing each flower
expresses a moment to be
cherished
understood
valued
for its contribution to my garden

I wish to Blossom
and then pause
long enough
to savor
sunlight
upon my skin
roots
embracing soil
soft breezes
and the moment
that is always
simply
Now.

  13. Oh, Lis, this is GORGEOUS! Bloom where I am.... thank you for this beautiful reminder. You gave me chills.

    It's so easy to get caught in the trap of waiting for the next thing... waiting for someone ELSE to "water" or the perfect conditions... when we have all we need to bloom right here.
