I haven’t tended to my garden much since my surgery in June because I couldn’t. I was able to observe it walking around with my crutches and walker while I recuperated. But I couldn’t take out all the weeds that were accumulating around my passion vine, which attracts butterflies or my bleeding heart vine which has a beautiful red flower.
Today I took the plunge and while the vines were growing amazingly, the weeds were entangled in these vines. I had to tend to my garden because it seemed the garden was becoming a mess. The same goes with all our relationships. If we don’t tend to them, and disentangle the “weeds”, life suddenly becomes chaotic. As you tend and disentangle and clean out the debris and the bad weeds, the beauty and simplicity of the good vines shine freely, so the beauty of them can be appreciated.
