Reblooming

Remember my Amaryllis that bloomed in early in January? When its blooms began to droop, I stuck in in the corner to allow the plant to die back.  When the time was right, my plan was to plant it in the yard.

When I got back from Florida a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the little sprout you can see down by the base of the bulb had grown into a stalk taller than the first, full of buds.

This week, three months later, it has begun to bloom in a splendor that overshadows the first flower which is still there, withered and dry.

As I begin the journey into myself to discover my Life-Keys, I wonder if my second blooming will be brighter than my first.

Some days I feel withered and dry, waiting for the next me to emerge and bloom.

These things, I’m learning, happen when I least expect them.  There needs to be quiet time, as if set in a corner to rest.

Since moving here I’ve been in the corner for seven months.  I’m ready for new possibilities.
