Arriving
A tiny seed knows of its purpose and with excitement agrees to create all that is beautiful. It agrees to do its best, to give to the Whole, all of its being in order to help heal its Mother and her inhabitants as they are all One. It feels the joy and excitement as it envisions the future it will be a part of once again.
It is then placed deep within the soil, left alone to carry out the plan. It is not really alone, but in the darkness it suddenly seems so. It can see nothing to the left or right. It can see nothing above or below; nothing but blackness in front and behind. There now is nothing but silence. Where is all the help that was promised? Where is all the love that was once felt? Why is it now left in this strange place with no way out? It has no idea it is surrounded by nourishment. It has no idea all that is needed to continue with the plan is available. It has no idea it has nothing more to do than just Be in order to arrive. It feels abandoned and disappointed for having ever agreed to be planted for the betterment of All. It has forgotten how much life force it carries within its tiny Being.
Upon arriving in The Garden, it had forgotten the story of Growing Pains. We do not like that phrase, so let us break it down to its true meaning. Growing equals change. Change is not familiar. Unfamiliarity can be frightening. Fear can hurt. Hurt equals pain. Growing Pains. But with each Change comes new possibility. With each “pain” the seed is closer to joining The Garden. Without doing much more than Being and trusting, it one day BURSTS out through the soil and into the New World. It now remembers why it chose to be planted. The pay off is not only amazingly beautiful, but also the only way to make it back Home where all things are once again possible; where all things are once again connected.
You are now BURSTING through to the New World. The “growing pains” you are feeling are all a part of the plan though you have forgotten. Let this not discourage or frighten you. In order to reach the surface and POP out on the other side, all stages are necessary. All stages are a part of what will make you Whole when you finally arrive. You WILL arrive in the Garden just as planned. It will be JUST as beautiful as you remember. You will be glad you chose to be a part of this new creation. You will look around and you will recognize it All. You will feel it All. You will be a part of it All. You will have arrived on the Other Side with all that you have ever known still locked inside of your being. There will be no reason to forget who you are again. You can then be All that you ever were and take your place in All that ever was.
Don’t quit just before you BURST through the “soil.” What waits on the Other Side is waiting ever so patiently with great excitement to embrace you will all of its Being. You will know when you have arrived, and you are so close, we stand with outstretched arms.
