Possibilities

What if there’s more to us than we think? What if neither nature nor nurture adequately describes it? Maybe the law of karma is correct, and we are ever-shifting souls who dance from one life to another, choosing the bodies and places we will inhabit in order to learn particular lessons, to guide others, and to repay debts. Maybe the astrologers are correct, and the planets and stars have a bearing on each person’s blueprint. What if plants represent spirits who will help us heal our spiritual wounds, if only we ask? Could we then let our parents and ancestors and hard luck off the hook? Could we delve into a realm of responsibility, promise, and joy? Could we worry less for ourselves and open with compassion to the needs of others?
