A couple months ago I adopted a plant named Petunia. Only a couple weeks after having her, I realized how sad she was because her petals started falling off quickly one by one. I moved her around to different environments but soon she only had two weak petals left,as shown in the photo on the left. She was not getting the sunlight she needed, so I put her in the room that gets the most sun and talked up her plant spirit everyday. Now, she is stronger than she was when I first got her, is sprouting new petals, and is showing her true colors! Honestly, I felt like I was going through the motions alongside little Petunia, and she was symbolizing myself. It really is true that when a plant isn’t growing properly, we don’t blame the plant, we figure out the environment it needs to thrive. Imagine how much compassion we could practice if we were this gentle, loving and understanding with ourselves. ☀️ a little reminder that losing your petals only gives room to grow newer, stronger ones, and it is never too late to find a truer, deeper potential within yourself. Let your love blossom inside ❤️ -- source link
