The Cactus In The Desert

None of us could have quite imagined ourselves as truly complex beings when we first awakened. This truth becomes glaringly obvious when we work on an issue, we do the shadow work, inner work, release this or that about it. And just when we finally think it’s resolved, it pops up again with the sturdy resilience of a cactus. It seems we hadn’t tackled this aspect or that angle. 

This can sometimes cause us to think of giving up the conscious journey. Well, we just think that but don’t actually do it because we realise we are the glorious desert in which that pesky cactus grows, we realise that we have the power and the fortitude to keep moving forward because to do otherwise – to give up – is just not a part of our make-up anymore.



The desert never wavers in its essence, not when the sun scorches it or sandstorms rush through it. It just is. As are we.
