Constancy of Change

My garden teaches me about the constancy of change. Without change, there is no rebirth. 
       ------G. Hill
Gardeners witness a medley of beginnings and endings dressed in splendid textures and colors.  Gardens sprout the regularity of change.
         -----G. Hill
Change brings us back to center.  In this world of uncertainty, God wants us to know that life, like a garden, is a series of beginnings.  Creation is an ongoing process.
     -----Bernie Siegel
Where is my beginning, you ask?  My continual rebirth?  
It is the uncertainty of the unknown that chases us out into the open where God is waiting.  Embrace it. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives will not have a title until much later.
    -----Bob Goff

Change is Always in Bloom

Change often feels like loss.  We grieve like a thread pulled out of the great fabric of life.   But grief does not change you … It finds you, swathed in blankets of grace. 
      
Leave everything undefined, including yourself. Befriend uncertainty. Fall in love with mystery. Kneel at the altar of not-knowing. Give your questions time to breathe. And the new beginnings will find you.
         — Jeff Foster
It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before…. to break through barriers. And the day will come when the risk of remaining tight inside a bud will be more painful than the risk to blossom. —– Anais Nin

Note: We are in a continual process of change. Even the cells in our body. About 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1 percent of all our cells. In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.

    1. How I’d love to say yes, but only one is local. I did intend to use my own garden photos but these others were so much better.
