Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is what is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or person who explained it to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before.

Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening.

Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed. ~Alice Walker.

You can break something in two seconds but it can take forever to fix it. 💔

“Many times in life,

each person who enters our life comes bearing a gift.

For some, it is a gift of love.

For others, a gift of healing.

And for others, a gift of wisdom.

Welcome all,

and trust that though you may not recognize it in the present

one day when you look back on how you transformed

from meeting them,

you will find it,

or you will find it

in their absence.”

“I am convinced that most people do not grow up… We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.”

Toborochi tree is native to the tropical forests in countries of South America. It belongs to the same family as the baobab and the kapok tree.

Mature trees grow swollen trunks shaped like bottles, making the trees look like pregnant, that is why this tree is also known as the pregnant tree. In Spanish it is also called Arbol botella (bottle tree) or Palo borracho (drunken tree), as they grow older their trunks becomes twisted.

When the rainy season arrives in Japan, a unique green mushroom that glows in the dark called Mycena Lux Coeli begins to grow in Wakayama. These fungi inhabit fallen Chinquapin trees and thanks to a chemical reaction they acquire a fluorescent green color. These particular mushrooms sprout during the rainy season in Japan, which usually lasts from the end of May to July. They have a maximum size of 2 centimeters in diameter and like most mushrooms they disintegrate quickly when the rainy season ends. It is believed that fluorescence is a response to the need for survival: by shining they attract insects that help disperse spores in an environment where wind dispersal is very limited...Japan...🇯🇵
