I took these daffodils-in-city-square photos in Edinburgh before I left to spend a month here in Florida where I'm busy writing a book on wellness. It was gorgeous watching the spring unfolding in Edinburgh. This first photo
(click on photos to enlarge) shows the freshness and vibrancy of the daffodil flowers at their best. Something is going on with them underground all year round but this is their glory moment. And there's a young tree, not much more than a sapling, which still needs support in order to get off to a good start. And the green grass, present all year round whatever the weather. I'm sure you can find helpful metaphors there for different aspects of your business, perhaps various activities and projects at different stages and producing different results.
Then in this second photo there is the solid presence of a mature tree, no longer needing support.
It just keeps growing from year to year. It yields seeds. In fact it's now also host to a fine dusting of something. Lichen? And in this photo you can also see the crocuses just starting to die back, their flowering just passing.
How would it be to look at your work, business or home life in this way, thinking about your various projects as different plant forms, growing and changing? Needing different care and attention from you as seasons pass?
I'm hoping to get some veggies going in my garden this year so who knows what tendrils of thought will grow from that!
And talking of veggies, plants to eat, my new blog is up and running. Still a few things to be done to perfect it but you are welcome to wander over for a look: Alive and Raw in Scotland ....and Beyond I'd love to read your comments :-)
