One Apple A Day #643 - the wellspring inside
"Coming up from a wellspring inside."
I didn't pick the card this morning. It felt on the floor while I was shuffling the deck. For a while now, I have been thinking about the potential the lies within us. I've been pondering on the need for external help to express that potential as if we don't trust enough our own potential.
And then, this morning, I picked this drawing, these colours and these words and I sat to meditate. And I struggled. I wasn't able to focus, my greedy mind was all over the place mixing past, present and future.
I realised that the sturdier walls holding back my extraordinary potential are within me. In my case, it's my overactive mind and its need to prove its capabilities. Whenever I try to access my other intelligences, to connect with that wellspring inside, my mind gets excited and creates resistance.
That is why we need, or at least I need, help from the outside. Something or someone I trust enough to let go of my inner resistance so I can connect with the wellspring of creativity and beauty I hold inside.
I honestly think that we all need that kind of support. The good news is that there is plenty available around us, we just need to reach out.
The BeTheChange cards are such a creativity opener for me. They help me confront my inner walls from their more fragile side, the outside one. So that I can source my inspiration from my wellspring inside.
