"The very things we wish to avoid, reject, and flee from turn out to be the 'prima materia' from which all real growth comes."  ~Andrew Harvey in Dialogues with a Modern Mystic

I am so attracted to the stamens of this flower. Very obvious and look really pretty with those purple petals. Good shot!

the yellow spikes made this purple flower looks prettier !

How have I been missing these? I'm so glad I'm catching up. What an absolutely beautiful flower. And I do believe all real growth comes from mistakes and some pain.

Incredible flower...and photo. I met my first scorpion a couple weeks ago--in my closet. Caught me completely off guard!

True. As long as we continue to try to avoid or reject or flee, then those energies will be planted before us so that we may grow, too. But I also feel that real growth can happen when we begin to fully open and allow and embrace all experience and energy as part of Oneness.
