blooming orchards


On a recent trip to visit family in CA
there were Almond Orchards
blooming everywhere

I hope you will go out
and let stories happen to you...
and that you will work them
water them with your tears
feed them with your laughter
till they bloom...
till you yourself burst into bloom


People deal too much with the negative
with what is wrong...
Why not try and see positive things
to just touch those things
to make them bloom?


The most precious gift
we can offer others is our presence...
When mindfulness embraces those we love
they will bloom like flowers...
