The Seed Part II

By asailorsangel

She set forth on her journey down the OPEN road. Along the way she knew she?d encounter many challenges and souls just as lost as she. She also knew she would never have something as serene as that rose or another that could sustain her as it did, but the lessons she would
learn made her tread that road.

Tired from the earth meeting her feet over the miles; she veered off the road and laid in the fresh cut grass. The blades caressed her face as the wind blew reminding her of the soft rose petals that use to run down her cheek and over her lips. The thought brought a tear but, she fought it back, for she gave that last tear away just a
thought ago.

In a soft whisper she heard, ?Why is your heart so heavy??
?My heart is not heavy it is as free as a bird, after all my love has sent me on my way to an on an OPEN road, how can I help you??, she said.

The whisper replied, ?I feel lost sometimes, I am here in my world, I stay low to the ground, make no noise, and always travel with the breeze.??Yes?, she says, ?So what is the trouble then???The elements still take advantage of me, they toss me around like I am not there, share my riches with others with no regard and neglect
to understand I can feel what is going on around me? answered the whisper.

She contemplated this for a moment and responded with, ?Sometimes you just have to take life for what it is, if you don?t like where you are then you must have the courage to move from one element to another. The other choice you have is to accept them for what they are and go
on with your life as if they are not there.?

She sat for a minute and thought to herself, When your surrounded by immovable elements you must become one with your surrounding and believe and trust that the energies in life will fuse together transforming you and the elements into one. The alternative is there will be a mass explosion of energies and these energies are the ones
in life that force us to make the changes we are selves are to afraid to make. Then she asked the whisper, ? Are you willing to endure the struggle to get there is the questions?? With that the whisper faded and there was silence with her first lesson learned.
