Green Thumb
What if life were a garden? Wait a second… before you laugh at the fact that a man is equating life to something as “un-masculine” as a garden, bear in mind God gave Adam a garden to tend even before he provided him with a companion. Now, as I was saying … if life were a garden, do you think you would possess the ability to properly irrigate and cultivate your greenery so that it could flourish?
Some individuals believe that the key to successfully nourishing life's garden lies in first understanding that one cannot apply the same treatment to all foliage. Take for instance your career (Amaryllis) . You should be mindful that Amaryllis requires temperatures between 41-50 Fahrenheit and consistent nourishment but will not require nearly as much exposure to direct sunlight as your personal relationships (Madagascar Jasmine) which requires much warmer temperatures, significant watering and tender handling to avoid bruising. Madagascar Jasmine is an alias for the flower's Greek name Stephanotis which translates to 'happiness in marriage'. Is there any surprise that this flower would require extreme care and delicacy?
Conversely, your recreation or hobby (Delphinium) will need ample exposure to both sunlight and water in order to achieve the remarkable shape that it is often noted for. Quite obviously, no one could ever truly reap the benefits of a balanced lifestyle without first sewing a spiritual seed. Your Spirituality (Zinna) which is commonly referred to as “Youth to Old Age” (because of its multiple layers) requires consistent light, heat, water and nourishment. Just as Zinna has many layers so does your spirituality. Your spiritual growth is a constant evolution in progress. Tend to your Zinna with care and caution and take notice as new layers begin to develop. If you possess the cognizance to provide proper amounts of light (God), heat (Love), water (Wisdom), and nourishment (Knowledge) to your garden (Life), chances are you already have a green thumb (others envy your lifestyle).
