Transform Potential into Reality

When I moved into my home last year, it 'had great potential". The back yard is small, but stacked rock terraces encircle it was a cozy Irish garden feel - or so I imagined. The reality was it was some grass, mostly weeds. My spring/summer project has been transforming potential into reality. Leveling ground, hauling two tons of pea gravel and a pallet of sod, and planting trees and so many flowers have kept my fitness tracker happy and my body fatigued. (other than the front retaining wall, I did it all myself!) Alas, it is finished. I am thrilled with the shaded gardens and labyrinth that now offer sacred space whenever I step outside. I marvel at the birds and butterflies that are already finding sanctuary there too. And so I wonder..? 

What is it like to transform potential into reality with our spiritual life? How can we grow and cultivate gratitude, love and peace in our daily living? We can do the hard work of leveling off the uneven places to bring balance in work and pleasure. We can do the heavy lifting of bringing the foundation materials that will give us a path for prayer and meditation. We can cultivate new plants and trees to send our roots deep and blossom our soul in beauty and abundance. What wonder awaits in our souls longing for deeper connection to the Divine Creator!
