Whoa! I went out to the balcony to get a few basil leaves and found a totally distressed plant. It was just fine yesterday. Today it clearly needed water. It had drawn all the water it could from the soil and it just wasn't enough to keep it going.
I thought about times I've felt like this. I'm going along just fine. I might be aware that my body needs a bit more sleep or my spirit needs more time to ponder, be still, and connect with God. Or I realize a walk to the lake or in the park would refresh my being. But I think I can keep going - just a little while longer.
Then it happens, I wake up one morning and feel just like this plant looks!
Much love and many hugs
