The poppy: symbol of transformation, hope....

 

Today it would have been my dad's 100 birthday.

These flowers are 'his flower'.......

on his birthday they were always blooming.

Poppy's, 

the symbol of peace, hope,

'there is light at the end of the tunnel'.

It is a very strong flower, it doesn't need a lot

and it blooms only a few days.

It comes back every year and gives comfort.

For me it shows that life goes on,

we learn, we grow, we shine, 

we let go and will shine again.

One of his granddaughters give birth to a son.....new life.

Others go through a period of letting go.....

others of taking a next step.

AND....

we all learn, move on, step by step.

Not all of his offspring,

see and talk to each other anymore.

We had to learn to detach, respect

and.....start to love ourselves first.

I realise that attachment is looking for something outside.

Most of the time because we are 'afraid' of our own power.

Afraid to stand up for ourselves,

afraid not to be loved 

if we do something the other doesn't agree on.

We use 'stuff', 'outside appearances', emotions,

to show the outside world

who we are, that we 'are ok'.....

Mot realising we are not the outside world,

we are who we are....ourselves.....

Pluto in Aquarius want us to be unique 

in a group/family/society.

Using our unique quality to help others 

who don't have this unique quality,

also realising that they have an unique quality we need

 and don't have ourselves....

How come we still need labels,

how come we still can not see people as unique.....

Why are we 'afraid' of people who show their uniqueness/their talent.

Why are we 'afraid' of refugees,

 'Muslims', 'Jews', 'Gays'

Why do we need labels like: ADHD,

'in the spectrum', 'disabled'.........

When I asked my dad: 'Why history, it is from the past!'

He said: 'So we can learn from it and do it different'......

Did we learn, let go and bloom, like the poppy 

or do we repeat the old pattern....

Then 'Against Jews' and now 'Against refuges/Muslims'....

Still looking for a group to be against,

instead of looking inside at our fear,

deal with it and find our peace inside

so we see each other as souls.....

Individuals with unique quality

who like to share and.......

live from love and peace....

Do you label in your family?

Can you see each other as a unique person

or are there emotions,

is their judging involved.....?

Can you be open and honest,

respect and forgive or do you feel 

you have to be 'on your guard'.....

With Pluto retrograde is the time

to go inside and check.......

If you choose to do this,

you will help society......

'We are all One'.

Or.....you can go on blaming 'someone':

a group, government, a country, a leader.......

Let's choose to be a compassionate, loving,

patient leader towards ourselves first.
