53 Tending to the Garden
Key Takeaways
- Life is not ultimately about gathering material things, friends, knowledge, or beliefs, but about recognizing that everything serves the journey for a time.
- Holding on to things that have completed their season can quietly fill the space where new growth is waiting to emerge.
- Tending to the garden of our lives sometimes means letting go with gratitude and blessing, even when we do not yet know what is coming next.
- Creating physical or emotional space through intentional release allows us to feel lighter and breathe a little deeper.
Once upon a time I believed life was about gathering things.
Material things.
Friends.
Knowledge.
Beliefs.
I naively believed that accumulating more was the path to happiness.
Paradoxically, life continues to teach me something different.
More and more, I see everything as a stepping stone—here to serve the journey for a time.
Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is let go.
Not because something was wrong...
but because holding on can quietly fill the space where new growth is waiting to emerge.
Today I was called to tend to the garden.
To pull a few weeds.
To bless what had completed its season.
To create space for... I don't yet know what.
And somehow, that feels enough.
With gratitude and blessing, I let go.
I feel lighter.
I can breathe a little deeper.
May what has emerged continue to reveal itself. 🙏🏻
