Today I learnt that lemon trees have prickles. I know this to be so because today whilst pulling weeds from around its base I was struck by a thorn. This then had me thinking ....
Don't we all have prickles?
I know I do. Those 'thorns' I put up to protect myself and keep people out. To stop people from getting too close and from fear of them seeing my true nature. But is this a good thing?
I like to think it isn't.
Like today with the lemon tree, I was only there to help it but instead walked away bleeding. Perhaps by putting up my own thorns I too have sent people walking away bleeding.
From this day forward I choose to forgo my thorns and allow what life has me to receive be given.
