No Need to Be Loved - Very wise teaching

What a relief to be free of the need to be loved.
Took a lifetime to wake up to this.
Fearing loss of loved ones drove my life for so long.
No more.
Now I have much more space to love -  everything, everyone.

Bird in the kitchen.

Captured in a moment.

This bird visited me in my kitchen.

It just sat and looked at me.

But it could not stay.

I feared the dogs would soon pick up the scent and terrify it.

It did not know the danger.

It flew to the small window

Leaving in my hands a pile of feathers.

So many.

Are you okay bird?

Whisked out the door to safety.

Leaving part of you behind.

A home, should be like entering the heart of a dove.

Tending one's garden, one becomes one, with the universe.

Each season

 of life 

has its own flowers,

its own weeds

Pak Choi, celery, snow peas, leek and nasturtiums in the winter garden at home.

My hens are snug and warm.

Toto and hen - he would eat her, given half a chance.

Kale [very nutritious in  my morning vegetable juice] Silver beet and radishes.

Flowers mixed in with the edibles.

The sunflowers are nealy ready to be harvested for seed. Rhubarb and  daffodils also in this plot.

Solitude and Silence are the Mother of my Creativity.

One can renounce the world ,

 but, 

not the moon and flowers.
