Dear Golden Flower

What caught my attention was your wide open self!!
Your offering of everything you are..
How vulnerable, and yet how beautiful and strong.

As I look closer, I also love seeing the tiny replica of yourself
I'm not sure if it is a bud or blossom.

I honor and admire the risk you take in offering your complete self,
each and every part of you with no exceptions.
The gift of vulnerability.

You are reminding me and challenging me to risk offering the same.
Not easy and not without some fear.

The Gift of vulnerability and openness
is one of beauty,  strength,
and
 as you just reminded me
an opportunity to 
receive
beyond measure!!!

Just as your openness and vulnerability
 invites 
and challenges me
May my own openness and vulnerability
  be enough to invite others
to do the same.

Together, we come to know 
our 
Beauty and Strength
and
open ourselves
to  receive abundantly
as well.

When we are closed,
that closure
 although safe for a while
 blocks
and eliminates
opportunities to receive
the very things 
we may be searching for.

Dear Flower, I have a great big grin on my face,
because this conversation went even deeper
than I thought it would.  Thank you, so much.
