Watery Heart

We had the first heavy rain the night before my visit. Fat drops are still dripping from the roof to be collected for dryer times.

Wetness has left its special scents in the garden. It is life giving, in decay and growth at the same time.

In nature, what looks like dead is full of life and after a while it reveales itself with great vigor. 

New leaves are coming out for the magical process of growth from light, water and soil to begin.

Growth can take chaotic paths.

Somehow it finds nourishment in the chaos and moves to an expanding order.

All the plants are guided to reach out for the light. 

Without thinking, they rely on the mystery of life and they reach out to heaven.

Each one of them expanding, flowering and bearing fruit in a great cycle.

When the rain comes the dried seeds are ready to fall to the ground...... 

.....for new beginnings.

Autumn is the time of death and resurrection.

Proteas are flowering now in their full beauty, celebrating the arrival of the rain.

There are so many shades of green in the garden. Green is the color of the heart-chakra and feel so much its connection to the watery nature of the emotions of the second chakra.

In this observations I experience the mystery of the heart energy. This is the energy of just being and receiving nourishment.
