I got this and I really love it and just want to share it 🙂
Before the rain stops we hear a bird. Even under the heavy snow we see
snowdrops and some new growth.
–Shunryu Suzuki
The signals that new growth is underway are often very small at first.
It’s sometimes discouraging when we are trying to remake our lives and
all we can see for our efforts is minor growth. That is how the natural
world works, and we are part of this world. When the little sprouts of
growth first develop under the snow in spring we don’t even see them
unless we search. Yet, they signal the beginnings of a total
transformation. Time will bring vast changes, but only little signs are
showing first.
Today, we may search for signs of progress in our lives. The little
things we see may signal bigger transformations yet to come. To be true
to them in the long run we must accept them – even welcome
them – as they are today.
I will notice the subtle movements toward health and renewal in my life.
Welcoming them will encourage them.
Is this a prayer for patience in the progress of renewal? I love thoser prayers, are you in a new Age movement or something?…
