May we have patience for all the things that have not bloomed yet and gratitude for all the things that have. Mary Davis
In her book of daily reflections, Every Day Spirit, Mary Davis reminds us that “the change of seasons in nature offers the chance to reflect on the change of seasons within us. May we open to new experiences that will bring inner growth as we release what is no longer serving our spiritual journey. We are always becoming new. Have faith that everything happens in its perfect time.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Eccl 3:1-8
