When we look at nature we are given a blue print for how God looks at growth. One things stem from another.  A seed is planted and it grows in a nurturing environment.  Then it is pruned and picked and used for its purpose or it grows over time and produces fruit.  The foundation must be healthy in order for growth to occur.  Our foundation must be healthy in order for growth in love to occur.  When we look at our own life’s beginnings we may see things that were not fertile ground and may have had experiences that caused us to wilt and parts of us to die.  But that is because we were not drawing from out true foundation.  Our true foundation is LOVE.  That is what we were created from, for, and by.  No matter how many things were laid on top of that, does not take away that when we get to our roots, it is what we will find.  We get waylaid however when we begin to take a look at what has been placed on top of that in terms of thoughts which got repeated and became beliefs, experiences, and musings about who we are.  Our ego does not want to let go of the story that it created on top of our true foundation because it cannot grow fertile in the idea of interconnectedness.  When we connect with God we see that who we are is so much more than our ego, who we are is that love in which we are truly grounded.  Most importantly God continually offers to be a companion in our road to get back to our roots.  We are not alone.  My prayer for us today is that we remember that God is not afraid of what stands between us and love and so we can ask for the courage to face that which is not true.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
