I’ve been doing some spring cleaning; but unlike most folks who clear the clutter and re-organize inside, I’ve been outside, spreading compost, planting seeds, expanding the garden- beautifying my little piece of this great planet.

And then I came across a gnarly, nasty stump, and for the past two weeks I’ve been chipping away at it, lopping one feeder root after another till today; success and a job well done!

So, I am really feeling connected to the root kingdom right now; and I got to thinking- this is really a metaphor for removing the “stuck” stuff in my life.

We’ve all got “those things” that we want to get rid of, belief systems, ideas, traditions, rules, that set limitations on beautifying life. And they get really rooted in their, like the stump, there are big roots near the surface, lots of smaller off shoots, and then a deep feeder root that’s big and deeply rooted at the core.

Well, so long as we’re diligent, persistent and steadfast, it is possible to uproot those limitations, to break free from the “stuff” that binds us and then voila:

There’s space to fill in with new ideas; or new soil- fertile grown in which to plant flowers or bushes, fruits or vegetables; this is beauty to nourish my senses and my soul.

Thanks to the root kingdom for setting me FREE!
