To write of what it means to grow is difficult at best. The experiences, so personal, are near impossible to express because they are so close to self, and a distant perspective is therefore rarely achieved. Fortunately, however, growth of any kind is marked by similar signs, and is easy enough to discover upon keen observation.

But we have not been taught this basic skill; some acquire it out of necessity when left to their own devices from an early age. Most, however, merely follow blindly what is shown by others to be all the rage.

True observation accords such treasures rare. One can begin to see such marvels everywhere. People will learn to overcome all manner of obstacles set before, if provided with the means to step outside of one’s own space to see things from a different vantage point.

And it is this basic skill which allows one to thus compare the before and after effects of change and growth. And thus, with care, one will begin to blossom into the finest rose, of fragrance sweet, time immemorial and beauty rare.

So take the time now, whilst you can, to stop and truly see all that is about you, and that which emanates from within to be, and you will see a new vision of what your life could thus become, and understand, with compassion strong, the melody of your own song.

Do not be so quick to judge or criticise yourself. Pause to thus reflect upon the wealth of knowledge you have stored. And sort it, with detachment, until you have in place a puzzle complete to answer all your prayers. And know that with this information, utilised with love and light, the will to good will flower forth with fearless might.
