On this Sunday morning, our garden greeted us with these sights that brought stories of their journey thus far and beyond!
The journey of becoming is a common journey humans share with the flora and fauna!
In the words of Carl Jung, the becoming of ourselves from a being a persona to individuation to be our Self is through a journey of shadows and integrating the unconscious Anima, the feminine in the masculine gender and Animus, the masculine in the feminine gender ! The anima connects a man to his emotion, intuition, and creativity. The animus connects a woman to logic, reason, decisiveness and action.
The flowers in their fullness evolve through a formative process over weeks from being a bud!
This came as an invitation to my soul this morning with a renewed appeal, as I am on a journey to be an elder in the seventh decade of my life, according to the eight stages of the psychosocial development theory proposed by Erik Erikson!
Yes, becoming is to grow into full humanhood and feeling anchored in God !
