WEED
Be careful what you WEED out of your
life. It may be important to WEED out
some of your toxic emotions that are hurting you. However, it might be more important to ask
those emotions, “What hurts so much that you stay so sad?” I was pleasantly surprised to find that what
might be considered WEEDS by some are actually helpful herbs, such as burdock,
dandelion, goldenrod, milk thistle, St. John’s wort, and sumac are often considered
WEEDS but are really healing ingredients in many herbal remedies. Thus, it takes wisdom and education to
figure out what WEED is good for you and what WEED is choking the life out of
you. WEEDS in general are not bad. When a WEED begins to grow in your beautiful
garden and choke the life out of your beans or tomatoes or even make your
flowers appear weak, then it is a good idea to pull the WEEDS with manual labor
or a pesticide free WEED killer. If you
are feeling stifled, smothered, or hampered by people you once thought were
friends perhaps it is time to have a serious conversation with him/her. That serious conversation can be likened to
putting non-toxic pesticide on the friendship and requesting a dialogue about
what is not working for you. Perhaps you
need to WEED out some of the aimless TV watching that is making you dull and
stealing the vivaciousness of your daily life.
WEEDS require careful thought, mindful action, and gentle care. Do not go through your life WEEDING out what
you don’t like. Ask, what does this WEED
really need?
