THe Beautiful Life Retreat Part 5 'Out of the Silence'
During the silence, I walked in the gardens and found a secluded place to sit on a small swing bench. I sat in this peaceful setting and just let myself be held by all that was unfolding around me, birdsong, fluttering butterflies, black and yellow flies that suddenly stopped and hovered mid-flight, two cocky robins who were having a disagreement about nesting materials, the changing colours of the ivy type plant that was creeping it's way up the wall beside me, the spider who had come to sit with me and two fruit trees that were bright with new growth on old wood.
I sat lost to time just being part of this sunderful(sunnny & wonderful) day.
I picked up my journal and wrote
'The tree begins to grow from it's small seed, it is left to grow and gets bigger and bigger.
Then comes a time for it to be cut back, there is so much wood and branches it no longer needs.
At first the cut seems quite savage, so much needs to be discarded.
But in time the new growth appears
New, Vibrant, Alive,
It comes from the very centre of the old.'
