Between the time a bud appears and it opens to be a flower it is usually about there weeks. Watching the buds to become a flower is one pleasant aspect of visiting the garden each day.
There is an opportune time for everything in nature.
It is when we see this rhythm in nature, we get to appreciate the time that all of us need in our formation journey.
Formation is process of inward unfolding of our being or true self, often spoken as the maturing process, which then manifests in our relational dimension.
Some of us are naturally relational and some others need an effort to grow into this disposition.
We continue this journey of formation by what we read, hear and process, think, experience, and internalise.
Both pleasant and unpleasant experiences contribute to this formation process.
Our true self emerges when we let go of our prejudices and perceptions when we receive enlightenment through our times of reflection and revision of our lives. We can be more than what we are today, is an inspiration for all of us to go on this journey to blossom even more!
We carry with us the image of a loving God who shall make us more loving an lovable! The freedom to allow ourselves to become our true self, comes by finding God as our maker and enabler. That is why faith journey can be transforming!
One sign of the blossoming of our lives is, when our neighbour becomes more important to us than what they are to us now!
