We purchased a lilac tree three years ago, so it just started its fourth summer in our garden. It was a "rescue" tree, one that was for greatly reduced because it wasn't doing well. For the last three years it has barely grown and I wondered if it ever would.
This year it has finally decided to bloom and has already almost doubled its foliage height! All the nurturing and patience finally did pay off. :)
In parallel, it made me think about what a human goes through when experiencing a difficult situation or choosing to uncover all those dark places in oneself to find to start living in the light.
When you start on your path to healing and/or growing, a lot of work, combined with love and nurturing, goes into that process. Sometimes it takes a long time to see the positive results and it can become discouraging. Be patient though and keep nurturing your healing and your path. You will experience exponential growth once you hit critical mass, just like my lilac tree did. :)
