Connection Through A Rose - by Goddess Dawn

When the coolness of winter has passed, I begin the work involved with my eleven Rose bushes. Clipping, feeding, weeding and mulching. As I work thoughts fill my mind with different questions, but the main one that usually emerges is 'Which beauty will fill my home with their soft scent and beauty first?? Which bush will yield the first rose worthy of a cut? Will it be the deep red ,the soft pale pink, the dark yellow, the soft white one, the peach one?' I muse at this question as I inspect each one for winter spoils, black spot and the like. Hmmm ....thoughts of the huge Grandflora's, the delicate tea with their delightful shape ?

The days pass the morning of the first bud's maturity leaves me slightly excited as I do my housework, putting off the moment of truth until all work is done and I can get that last cup of coffee and the nippers and head out the patio doors. Thru the herb Garden, toward the birdbath to the Peach bush that shows promise of the winner of the Game. I expertly nip the Beauty ,angled cut long stem and Quickly. I know plants can not feel so it always hurts me more than them.

I put her in a place of Honor in the dining room in a slim vase filled with marbles and cool water. She seems to nod slightly as the breeze ever so slightly hits her bobbing head. She opens so very slowly as I keep her protected from warmth or sunlight. She rewarded me with beauty for a week and a half.

As I chatted on the phone with my friend. I knew she had gone on a spiritual retreat for herself and I asked her simply if she had any messages for me? At the time I felt silly asking her this ...But I did. She said while she was meditating at her getaway in an intense session, she was at the feet of Nityananda who was a great Indian Saint. She had the vision of this huge peach rose. It was clear, and she described it with no knowledge of my Beauty who had graced my table the last couple of days. I had to bring out the camera and capture the image for her. The picture of my "Tropicana Grandflora" now graces her work space. As I have shared here with the you, that rose is so meaningful to me than any thing else in my life. It is my passion, my soul.

But I think we must all grasp the idea that what we think and project ,love and nurture becomes a part of us,also for gifted souls(psychics,Lovers,bosses,friends) to pick up and view. So if you get a reading, do not take it too lightly, get focused on you in the inner self. Realize psychics pick up on your spiritual lesson and events happening not just " Does My Boyfriend Love Me??"
