Pink Rhodies
The rhododendrons in the park seem 100 feet tall! Towering over us. Pulling us in and down the wooded paths. Slowing us down. Listening to us. Allowing us. Considering who we are. So excited to be with us. Encouraging us into balance. And so nonchalant.
Here, with them, nothing seems overwhelming, out of balance, judged, hard, closed, misguided, off kilter. Here I feel serene and right… and loved.
Rhododendron calls gently to those lost, wounded parts. It calls them back home. It understands them, welcomes them. Everything is now a-okay. All the cords connecting to the beliefs that make us want to hide those parts of us in shame, dissolve. There is now space to be. Space to breathe. Space to expand. Spiritual space. Tender, loving space. A-okay space.
The ‘ordinary’ rhododendron is a spiritual flower, a flower of reconciliation. Rhododendron creates a beautiful pink energetic barrier around us sweeping our energy field and resonating with the heart. No need any more for excuses, opinions, defense strategies, rejection… no more Self-hatred.
Rhododendron sets the foundation for good change. It frees us. It gives us the artistry to create new experiences, new passions, new challenges, new ways of living.
Let go and breathe them in. Let them surround you. Let them share their energy with you.
