Encountering Shiity Peeple

This MEME is concerning how The Good and Powerful Gardner, who provides constant, ever changing/shifting/nourishing/encouraging roles for me as well as for all of others in our Garden of Eden allows us and helps us to grow in our own natural ways.

One of The Gardener’s Ways is knowing when I’m ready for my next stage of growth. Upon being ready for growth, The Gardener may choose to bring another and/or others directly into my life at the exact same time for the most effective and prosperous effect to play the role of The Fertilizer.

There are many other steps in the growth process and will of course have there own purpose and design. My part is to keep growing. Yes, more fertilizer may be needed some of the times or not. My growth depends on both my inner world being nourished as well as my outer world. If others appear to play the role of fertilizer in my life, I can choose to judge them or realize maybe The Gardener is the one responsible for their, so called, sudden appearance. This reminds me of when I chose to take Improv classes Second City, here in Chicago. When performing Improv, the first rule is:

1) YES! AND+++

As a growing flower in The Garden, I’m learning to be grateful for those who The Gardener brings onto the stage I happen to be playing on and thus, I may choose to bring a childlike and playful attitude of YES! (agreeing and accepting others entering life) and then AND+++ (adding benevolently to our circumstance or not).

Sometimes, my role is clear, when it is not, remembering the Yes And+++ Principle helps my growth as well as others. One more matter. I may not distinguish when or if I’m ever growing. I think I may feel it so, when I focus on the realization that “I’m not running the show!” and neither are any of the other flowers I see, feel, hear, smell and/or taste. Suddenly I may sense some sort of Peace and Serenity knowing “The Gardener is Running The Show!” AND I am the Star of My Show just as everyone else is the Star of their own Show. Together, we can all put on a spectacular performance! 

Remembering that tragedy plus the proper amount of time will equal a comedy is the essence of drama. The Show must go on! Exit stage left anyone? Introspection often leads to a plot twist or a new direction. Remember, we are the show, we don’t run the show.

What a Performance!! I can choose to applaud everyone I meet, will meet and will never meet. We’re all a part of this Performance known as: 

BEING ON PLANET EARTH!

Gardner, thank you for all the Shiity Peeple you’ve brought into My life. I’m always ready for any role you may have next for me to play. I say Yes to your direction. Once again, it’s time to grow up, right?
