This Month’s Message: Spring Growth

by Robert Gerzon

Today is the Spring Equinox–the beginning of spring! It’s a special day of balance day when the hours of light and dark are equal.

You can feel Mother Nature getting ready to grow. The energy is building, the seeds are sprouting, the buds are unfurling, and the birds returning.

Human beings like to grow too. It makes us feel alive and it gives meaning to life.

Our commercialized consumer society tends to keep us too busy and too frazzled to even think about our goals and our life purpose. Then it takes the resulting frustration and boredom and channels it into the desire to consume more food than our body needs, buy new gadgets to clutter our homes, and snack on more media mind candy to distract us from that nagging feeling of meaninglessness.

During this season of growth I always remember that great line from a Bob Dylan song — “He not busy being born is busy dying.”

The biological truth is that within our body cells are busy dying and being born every day. It’s thanks to the new ones constantly being born that we’re still around and have the opportunity for growth. Growth is not optional — it’s required for survival.

Personal growth helps us meet our individual goals and keeps life fresh and exciting. It’s the best anti-aging strategy around today. And its companion, spiritual growth, is the best strategy for finding meaning and joy in each day as we live it.

Why not reserve one of these beautiful spring days as a “spiritual health day”?

Something new is emerging in you this spring. Take time to listen to your inner voice. Make room for the new growth by letting go of outworn habits and thoughts.

Take a walk, paddle a canoe, sit in the sun. Ask your inner child what he or she has been waiting all winter to do. Ask your soul what sort of growth it wants to guide you toward during this new season of your once and precious life.

Enjoy your day! http://www.gerzon.com
