This bit of flora provided by our mother-earth is as sensitive as your lives together. If you care for it diligently and give it the nourishing waters provided by nature, it will thrive with life-giving beauty.
Its roots grow slowly and gather strength through the trials of many years. It must be tended to like a child that seeks out the comfort of a parent.
You can shape the branches of this work of art though tenderness and guidance to create a sculpture that is in union with its surroundings, or you can leave it to grow on its own in a haphazard form. The choice is yours.
The conditions must be right… the water must be right… the food that feeds the life-source must be right. With all of the conditions favorable for success, there remains however, the possibility of failure. You as the guardian, with patience, will be the caregiver of a wonderful companion.
So too is the relationship between two souls. If not cared for on a daily basis… if not fed properly with love and attention… if not grown and nurtured thoughtfully throughout the years… this source of joy and commitment will dry up in the winds and fall to the earth.
Take care of the ones that have been placed within your lives. Feed and nourish your relationships so that you can be placed upon the altar of honor, so all can look upon you as an example of success.
