Hard nights
January 28, 2009
You know, it’s hard to lose something that you have gotten so used to.
Lately, I’ve been in a purging mode. Pruning perhaps. Burning old bridges. Throwing out all my straggling plants and their soil has been quite symbolic of how I habe been feeling in general. There’s been annoying bugs in some of my plants which I have not been successful in fixing. So I threw out my rosemary amd basil. And all the affected soil. Thankfully my orchid, lemon balm, and mini pomegranate were fine. Two days later, my bug problem is history. I’m going to buy new soil and start afresh with new herbs.
Unfortunately, it’s not been so easy in my life. I’ve certainly come to realize all the emotional dead ends I’ve led myself down, and have been trying to clear them out. They have been weighing me down. But old habits die hard, and you know it’s not so easy to just let go.

It sounds like you are going through some internal changes. Good for you for listening.
