The lesson I want to teach my plant

I'm afraid my plant is dying. He got a new pot last week. Roomier ya know, so he could grow. Spread his leaves a little and explore the great big world.

I found him this morning looking decidely yellow and intent on leaning down the sides of his pot rather than standing up tall.

I know how he feels.

Even when you've changed and become far to big for your little world and it is time to move on...even then it's scary. Safer to stay in your little pot. Safer not to grow.

But I wish he knew that it is wonderful too.

Becoming is a good thing. Becoming is mystery and knowledge as one and should be respected. Flowers and children and butterfly wings already know this.

So do I, but I forget sometimes.
