Roots

While planting flowers in the garden today there were so many roots from bushes that were dug out years ago; thick roots that ran deeply into the soil and spread out in quite a wide radius. It started me thinking about the patterns of separation we start building the moment we enter a life on earth. Patterns of separation are results of the thoughts and beliefs one holds that they are separate from the whole, separate from God. They are thoughts such as “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not smart enough”; anything that makes one believe that they are anything other than Divine. When those patterns of separation are formed, they grow deep and latch on like roots. And even though the patterns may have been eliminated years ago at the surface, there may still be old dead roots that need to be removed. I find that meditation helps this. It helps hoe the ground, remove the old roots and weeds, and plants and fertilizes new vibrant life in the soil. Time for some inner gardening… or as I like to call it, God-ening. Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
