Cala Lily {Purity + Innocence}
“In the world that we live in— purity and innocence are the true strengths. It is strength to live in a world like this and remain pure of heart, it is strength to live in a world like this and retain innocence. These are things that the world wants to take away from you, that experiences tend to alter and attempt to redefine. The wild ones aren’t the defiled ones— the wild ones are the pure ones, the innocent ones. It takes a true wildness to retain these things through the fire and through the storms. It takes a real wildness to remain in the wild— not contorted and maligned by circumstance and experiences. And it takes power to stand up and to choose what experiences we allow to take root or to even come into our lives.”― C. JoyBell C.
The March Spiraling to Wellness theme of the month is Purity and Innocence, represented by the lovely Cala Lilly. Different colors have different meanings, but all point toward a gentleness of spirit and appreciation of beauty within us and others. The Cala Lily is often symbolic of a rite of passage. Maybe we can find gratitude and awe in the first buds of spring and embrace that renewal and rebirth in areas of our own lives. Let’s give some thought to the following:
What are you “rising out of” as the seasons change?
How can we look at things differently through a filter of purity and innocence?
Where and how do we get the courage to have faith in ourselves and show up with the innocence and vulnerability that enables up to grow?
