Nurture ........When Needed

That’s my rose bush in full bloom! and it made me specially happy to see it.

Why?

Because one month back it was sick. It had bugs and most leaves were visibly eaten away. I actually toyed with the idea of having it removed, but couldn’t get myself to do it. So decided to keep it and look after it. Gave it that little bit more attention, tended to it with love…….and look at it today.

A lesson there?

Yes, I know I’m the one who quoted the example of the bean seed not long ago; about how you can’t  m..a..k..e it grow…..and what you need to do is to make available what it needs and it will do the rest. It’s true. It's like the norm..the guiding principle.

But then, there are those occasional other times too,..... when it wants attention…….. when it needs attention……that little extra care and love. Aren’t we all like that? We mostly do really well on our own, but there are those times when things get to us, when we feel the drag, feel down………and that’s when that little bit of love, little bit of care can make all the difference. A little more awareness to know when, would help right?

Well, we continue to learn……….
