She sent me a dozen long stem white roses, and I fully received them, possibly for the first time in my life. I allowed myself to be fully available to receive everything that they had to offer, and there was so much medicine in them.
You see, everything is available for us to receive, everything. It is simply whether or not we are open and available to receive that energy. The more that we are available for a particular experience, the more that we will receive from it. So, I allowed myself to be fully open. I opened my energy body to everything that the flowers had to offer.
I was available for the joy that they brought- each time my eyes gently landed on them, my heart opened, and I felt joy.
I was available to the love that they brought- each time my eyes gently landed on them, I felt loved. Not just that someone else loved me but the love that I have inside of myself to offer other people and myself.
I was available to the wisdom that they brought- each time my eyes gently landed on them, I watched their evolution, I watched the natural unfolding of the roses, and how beautiful it was, so just allow the unfolding and to cherish every phase of the unfolding because each phase brought its own expression of beauty. I understood that I was no different than the rose, I am unfolding naturally and each phase of me unfolding carries different forms of beauty, no one more beautiful than the other, simply different.
I was available for the energetics of the rose. I experienced the pureness of the rose and the simplicity of its beauty and as I experienced it through the roses, I experienced the pureness and the simplicity of this beauty inside of myself.
I was available for the resourcing that the roses showed me. As I watched the beautiful roses drink the water in the vase, I watched how unapologetic they were for needing water. They drank the water knowing that without the water they would shrivel and die but if they were willing to drink the water that was available to them, that it would feed them and allow them to express themselves for a longer period of time.
I was available for the awe that they awoke in me. They weren’t comparing themselves to red or yellow roses, they just owned the pure beauty of their own color. They didn’t try to be another color just because some people like red roses or yellow roses more than white roses. They just stood proud and tall in the exact way that they were created, knowing that the people who loved white roses would see them, love them and value them. They didn’t try to make excuses for why they weren’t red or yellow, they just embodied that they were white roses and understood the value in a white rose.
The question has never been if the white roses carry profound medicine, the question has always been if I am available to fully receive the medicine that they offer.
