In summer beautiful flowers grow: wildflowers, exotic flowers, sunflowers, roses and more. Some are valued for their meaning, others for their beauty. People often admire flowers and then pick them to bring the beauty of nature into their homes. However, can you look at nature – and love – from a different perspective?
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up, it dies and it is no longer what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possessions.
Love is about appreciation.”
—Osho
What else can you appreciate in your life, exactly as it was meant to be? Can you see your children or spouse that way: loving them as they are, and not as you want them to be? Can you take on the ultimate challenge and see yourself in the same light? Love is about cultivating a deeper appreciation for the thing, person or even moment.
