“All the buried seeds crack open in the dark the instant they surrender to a process they can’t see. .. As a seed buried in the earth cannot imagine itself as an orchid or hyacinth, neither can a heart packed with hurt imagine itself loved or at peace. The courage of the seed is that once cracking, it cracks all the way.”
~ Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening (4/5) ~
What a lovely reminder about the spiritual lessons found in nature!
We are surrounded by living wisdom teachers that demonstrate to us how to live fearlessly and faithfully. Their example is a divine testament about how to yield to a spiritual process that cracks us wide open so that we can spring forth from the perceived limits of our current situation and grow into the fullness of the divine being we were created to be and already are.
And Mark’s words also remind us that so much of our potential is actualized in the darkness and just beneath the surface.
And so it seems surrender and courage go hand in hand. It takes courage to surrender. And it takes full surrender to “the process'” — often without knowing the plan or purpose of what we are going through in the moment — to truly grow, to break ground, to see the light and to “be ye transformed”.
The magnitude of our being comes not from being perfect (which is not only illusive but unattainable) but from looking at our humanness squarely, embracing our light and our darkness, and receiving the wisdom constantly being whispered to us about our life purpose.
