The Amaryllis bulb took about a month to bloom. Everyday I’d wander into the kitchen, take a glance, notice the seemingly slow progress and go about my day. I didn’t know it, but this flower (gifted by a friend of my father’s) has been a silent mentor for tackling very hard obstacles.
‘She’ has developed a voice: Look at me, dummy! I make this look easy but you have no idea the effort it took or the circumstances that were necessary for me to be sitting in your coffee cup, wow-ing you on the regular. Enjoy me and get back to work.
Just curious, is your inner voice a drill sergeant, a sweet-talking poet, or a bubbly cheerleader?
