Thought for the month

May 2010

The trees in bloom

After the long winter that we had, it is wonderful to walk in my bluebell wood, noticing how the leaves on the oak, hawthorn and beech trees now all have that hue of fresh green that fills our hearts with optimism! Everywhere we look, blossom is appearing. The seasons – they come and go. We can learn a lot from just going with the flow of the seasons, enjoying the blossom of the apple trees that will, inevitably give rise to the tiny apples that will grow until they are ready to be picked.

Be your own blossom this month: shine joy and love to all you meet – and watch the positive ways in which people react to you!
