This morning as I was sipping some coffee and looking out my window, I saw our Palo Verde tree showing off her yellow blossoms. Because of the height of my window, I could see that the flowers are only at the very top of the tree. Because the tree is so tall, if I was standing right beside it, I wouldn’t see the flowers. I wouldn’t know she had blossoms. I realized our manifesting efforts can be like this.
An important aspect of using sigils, for example, doing "sigil magick" -- or any kind of magick, is that after the work is done and set in motion, to forget it, forget about it, don't concentrate on it anymore, let it go and expect results, knowing that results will manifest, put the spell deep in the subconscious where it can grow and produce. A flower doesn't appear if we dig up the soil everyday to find out if the little seed is making progress.
Yes, and that's so what I see in doing releasing. Just letting go and knowing that it will work. :-) I love the imagery of the flowers at the top of the tree.
Reminds me of not seeing the forest for the trees which I used to be very good at. I have progressed but in your metaphor I'm still tempted to struggle to the top of that tree to make sure the buds and blooms are there rather than waiting with faith for the fruit to drop in its perfect timing. It boils down to balance. Tending to the tree, doing my part while letting the nature of the tree do it's thing. That's why gardening brings me joy. As I make my commitment here it dawns in me I can do this right here and now as I ice my chronic back pain while envisioning the inflammation and muscles responding in their own way. I can't see it but I can still believe it.
