You didn’t even know you needed them, or that you had called out silently to them. They appear when you needed them most, to lift you, educate you, wake you up, or shine a light on your path. They sprout the seed that was in you, and patiently watch that seed emerge from the soil. Sometimes it wears them out to water and fertilize you every single day as you grow. This is a delicate time, you as the plant, and they as the nurturer. You as the plant need them for your growth, and they as your nurturer, have to have the energy to believe in your growth. Then, one day you blossom, and awaken to the beauty around you and rejoice. The only thing you ask from them anymore, is to celebrate the flower they have brought to life, and to accept the riches you now will give to them. -Riitta Klint.","author":"Riitta Klint","tags":["awakening","blossoming","gift-of-life","gifts-from-the-universe","inspirational","nurturing","personal-growth"],"id":29982,"author_id":"Riitta+Klint"},{"text":"Every new breath and day is on opportunity to do something,a gift of life to make a difference in the world.","author":"K.J.
