Find a path that is your own, love will open every door*

Just a little food for thought between posts...  

There always comes a time of elimination. The earth sheds 

each year. The trees and flowers let go of their identity. 

As the old identity dies, a new identity is born. The body 

sheds constantly. Some of it happens invisibly; so naturally 

and silently that we do not realize it is happening. The 

heart and the spirit also shed. They shed the emotions and 

experiences that we no longer need. 

They shed the things that stunt our  growth. 

This, too, is an invisible process. 

Yet because of the energy involved, the emotional energy, 

we often feel the emotional and spiritual shedding; it feels 

as if we are dying. We are. Just like the flowers and the 

trees, we are dying to an old identity. This shedding, or 

death, is not the end of us, it is the beginning.
