Time to Sit Back & Watch

It strikes me that Spring is on the way. What also strikes me is that in nature, by the time we see new growth, much of the hard work has already been done. That whilst appearing dormant, bulbs and plants have been breaking open and putting their roots deep down in the ground. That during the cold dark months, real growth in the natural world takes place out of sight. In this manner, the green shoots and blossoms we are beginning to see are the culmination of decisions and efforts exerted in previous months.
I’m wondering if this is true of us humans too? That in the winter we will have made choices, set our intentions and begun to put down our roots. If this is true then perhaps it is time for us also to sit back and watch to see what new growth and blossom results from our investments. Perhaps we too can quit pushing so very hard, learn to observe, to nudge or guide in only the necessary ways, and wait a little to see how we shall be rewarded as our ideas come to fruition.
