Pruning

Yesterday I pruned the rose bushes. This morning, as I look out the window, I see streams of light flowing through them and realize, “Now they can breathe!” They seem happier, leaves less crowded.

In these times, so many are cleaning, clearing, pruning, and setting themselves free from overcrowded schedules, clutter, and obligations. Is it possible that we might be preparing for healthier, happier lives?

At the same time, I’m told that these times are very difficult for people with addictions, and deaths are increasing.

So this morning my friends and I set this intention: “Prune the addictions that keep us trapped. Set all souls free.”
