Weeds and Wildflowers


What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Notice the details of what some people call  "weeds." Observe how they sneak in to brighten the man-made world.  

They show us how to deal with unfriendly circumstances.


Most of life's daily challenges create tiny fissures of irritation where we need flowers to bloom. 

Rarely do the major life occurrences propel us to agony the way inconveniences take over our moments. Then we worry with ferocity. 

How can we turn these aspects of our lives into productive use?  Humor dissolves most of these infringements upon our delicate balance in life.  

We need to work on becoming indefatigable as weeds.  





Why not shine up the funny bones to view the process!  



All varieties of flowers began with the hardiness of weeds. 


Perceive your weeds as wildflowers. Take a ten minute laugh to energize.
Bloom each day with tenacity!
















A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it. 
 - Dogen

Make a daily list of worries. 

            Respond to the list with humor.  
                  




Rethink worries and weeds into wildflowers.
