Appearances are deceiving. What looks like the ordinary can suddenly become amazing. I am a master of transformation. For most of the year I am a weedy looking bush with florets of tiny green leaves. My flowers appear in mid spring, and they too are quite ordinary. But as the sun becomes more prominent and more intense, my true colors emerge. People take notice when they see my brilliant pink plumes. I make a big splash!
Your true self, when you allow it to emerge, is also quite powerful. You are on your way to your own transformation as the Earth changes in support of your growth. You’ve been acculturated to tow the line, to be a cog in the wheel. That time is over. It’s now time to blaze your own trail in the company of others who are paving the way for the rest of humanity. What you were yesterday is not who you are today. Let yourself be transformed. You won’t miss what you left behind.
When summer has settled in and many of the plants around me have matured to the softer shades of green or gray, I stand out with my vibrant green leaves and bright magenta blossoms. You can’t miss the contrast! I’m like a cool drink on a hot day.
I am a primrose that loves the dark of night. That’s when I open up to the sky, my bright yellow petals lighting the garden with color. As the day dawns and the sun begins to rise, my flowers come to the end of their vigil and die back. New fresh buds are ready to open when night returns.
Come…walk with me. The day is ending, the shadows are lengthening, the sun’s rays are softer. The busiest part of your day is over. You don’t need to think so hard with your brain. It’s time to listen with your heart.
We kiss the Earth and hold it dear. Our roots protect the soil and we raise our seed banners up toward the sun. When the wind comes, our seeds fly into the air and populate the bare earth to start new communities of green life upon the land.
I am of the Family of Light and I’ve come to remind you how important it is for you to be fully grounded in the physical. You are Spirit and you are Human. What a combination! You sometimes spend way too much time in your head or trying to purify yourself to become more “spiritual,” ignoring your body.
I don’t stand alone. We grow in large clumps, sometimes so tall and thick, we look like a forest. Our stems are thick and strong, our leaves long and broad, emerging in a graceful curtain of green. Small white flowers grow in clusters at the top. We are part of an unfailing ecosystem, fed by the rain from above and the rich moist soil below.
We came from the stars, like so many of you. We adapted quickly and produced many blossoms, each of which has a distinct five pointed star in the center, a symbol of balance and harmony. 
I am the pink lady of the meadow. I grow in clusters, spreading myself generously over an open sunny area. And, sometimes, I pop up singly where one of my seeds happened to land. I grace the land with a lovely pink aura that invites joy to come and abide.
