Flowering Tomato

Listen to "Flowering Tomato" on Spreaker. The writer in me took note of a flowering tomato plant outside the window. While shaping a positive vibration within the moments we all try to design I realized the squirrels had stolen another fruit from the vine. The written expression on paper, "Obviously they need it more than I." The captivating thing about this tomato plant is the connection that two separate walks of life seemed to share without truly realizing there was a single line connected to the same dot on the map. I was a little disappointed with the tomato stealing squirrels but in essence I too was taking from the plant by borrowing the energy from one of its blossoms. On this podcast I dive into that subject. What are we doing as everyday real people to produce fruit and or a flower? The natural reaction when someone takes is usually discomfort and yet they obviously needed it more than I. Turning the picture around. Who we've become is a basic design of how we were taught to accept and or giveaway. Sharing is a learned art. In Native American Spirituality I learned to ask the plant for the fruit on the vine. What if we began a process of growth in that flavor while creating things with coworkers or family members. Instead of expecting to take what's grown from another imagination. Ask by way of mindfulness to have or to hold whats being shared in the moment. We are a society of takers. Look at the social media world. So many pictures, motivational phrases and other connections that weren't part of our vine but they became the identity of the image of you we find. There is peace in a walk when what we carry is blessed in the name of sharing. All those thoughts in your head and heart. What if your experiences on this path are actually lessons to be taught? A flower on a vine. Fruit for a passerby.
