I had an insight this morning. I have spent many years with some solid gardening skills: watering seeds of love, appreciation, courage - pulling weeds of discouragement, bitterness, subtle forms of dishonesty, etc.
I was surprised this morning to see that I have been watering weeds of busyness and anxiety, and they are a tangled mess that can steal all the sunlight and nutrients from my fruits and veggies. The problem is that all this time they were growing, I didn’t realize they were weeds! Today, I will pull weeds.
