Nurture Tenderness
The Lady of The New Buds Speaks....
"See how my garden has grown about me? See how my children, the darling buds, clamour for my attention?
They cry at night and can be so touchy during the day!
I must shelter them from harshness and keep them in a safe place, till they are strong enough to branch out..... even then, my watchful eye will look out for their care.
You see, so many people see the beauty, and do not understand where it sprang from; the rich loamy soil. The sweet water poured into this earth, the minerals of the natural realms, the light of the Sun and the shining sweetness of the crystal moon have all anointed my garden with their blessings.
And then there is me.
So many see my garden, and wonder at it, but they do not see the work and care that has preceded my domain.
It's beauty is a result of love, care, natural growth and attention to each and every one of it's inhabitants.
When your growth appears around, from the seeds you have planted, take time to tend this garden.
Enlist the assistance of like-minded souls, and just as you would not feed these tender buds poisons and pollutants, do not feed your ideas the opinions and energies of those who are not in integrity.
Stay true to the vision of your creation and truly take a little time each day to tend this garden, be it of love, ideas, little ones or creative endeavours until they are robust and begin to grow into their own energy.
For now, it is the tender time, the time when the buds are most at risk from the frost of rejection, the poison of judgement and the choke of cruelty.
Be vigilant, and you too will have a garden for all to enjoy and love.
Many will feel you are fortunate indeed to have created such a beautiful Eden, but they will not see the care you have taken to grow this.
But I have seen. I have seen it all"
