Last week, I visited Kew Gardens, the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens in London, England.
Kew, I thought, was the perfect name for this piece of paradise because Mother Nature (aided by landscape architects) orchestrated a crescendo of blooms as if on “cue.”
Vibrant yellow daffodils and forsythia complemented by deep purple grape hyacinths would have been the opening act and stolen the show in most anyone’s spring garden. But here, they played second-fiddle to the main event.
Cherry and magnolia trees were ladened with blossoms as honey bees and bright green parakeets (yes, parakeets in London) danced among branches, causing petals to drift gently downward like snowflakes, carpeting the ground in hues of white, pink, and fuchsia.
Under the busy flight path to Heathrow, surrounded by traffic and millions of people going about their daily lives, this place makes one slow down, appreciate, and literally smell the flowers.
That’s what I love most about spring, regardless of when it arrives: it arrives with the power to help you remember there’s beauty in abundant diversity, especially when given the right conditions and space to blossom.
A flower doesn’t hold itself back from blooming.
It doesn’t need courage to dare to be what it’s destined to be.
An acorn in an orchard never strives to be an apple tree to fit in with the others while wishing it could be a majestic oak.
Nor does an apple seed long to be a tulip. Its potential germinates from within. It knows it’s already the tree, and the blossoms, and the fruit, and the food. The whole AND the parts, because the parts ARE the whole.
When you trust who you really are, who you become IS who you were always meant to be. And you live it wholeheartedly.
“Kew” the music.
It’s your time, and it’s your turn.
Let’s break through the barriers holding you back and nurture your seed of truth. It’s time to be ALL you already are.
