Welsh Whispers from an Elusive Four-Leafed Clover

Clover Love

🍀 Seeded by CJB today

"Enter the emerald kingdom—NOW,"
beckons a forest breeze...
Cold air pulls my body,
as I step through branches,
my footsteps crackling like fire.

My soul feels reinvigorated
my mind feels it too—
as gentle layers of clovers
bathing in dancing sunlight,
watch my every move.

Today, in this moment,
a soul happiness stirs,
"YES—now you can feel it too,"
whispers the forest breeze...
caressing the mid-morning dew.

Alone, a tiny form in this green cathedral,
I continue to feel I am part of everything.

Welsh Whispers from an Elusive Four-Leafed Clover

Yesterday, the reinvigorating air of a Welsh forest hummed with a quiet invitation. Under a benevolent sun, I ventured into its ancient embrace with a simple quest: to see how hard it is to find a four-leaf clover when the soul is not feeling it. It’s a familiar quest, one I’ve undertaken before, sometimes with miraculous results, sometimes not. This time, the forest had a different lesson to teach.

In moments past, when my soul felt a distinct, undeniable pull—a whisper of guidance—those rare, lucky leaves seemed to appear as if by magic. Proof, I always felt, that some unseen soul was gently directing my path. But yesterday, that familiar soul guidance, the clear inner knowing, was absent. And so, the four-leaf clover remained hidden, a shy secret keeper amongst its myriad brethren.

Initially, a tiny flicker of disappointment might have tried to take root. But then, a deeper, more profound truth blossomed:

Don't chase things you can't get. Be happy with what you've got!

The absence of the clover wasn't a failure; it was a freeing. It became a powerful affirmation that even when the specific "thing" you seek doesn't manifest, there is an abundance of soul happiness to be found right where you are. I let go of the quest and opened myself to today's bounty.

And what a bounty it was! The dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the forest floor. The towering trees standing as silent guardians of time. And then, a delightful discovery: a patch of vibrant wood sorrel, a variety I hadn't encountered before, its delicate leaves and tiny flowers a joyful surprise.

Every moment hunting for an elusive four-leafed clover became a soul experience because I have chosen to live through my soul not my human-animal mind (this may sound heavy, my book will eventually explain it so you go - oh yeah!). The simple act of breathing in the damp, earthy scent, feeling the soft forest floor beneath my feet, and marveling at the intricate beauty of a single leaf transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. The lack of a four-leaf clover simply highlighted the richness of all that was already there.

This journey wasn't about a lucky charm; it was about the profound luck of being present, of recognizing that true soul happiness isn't contingent on an outcome, but on the willingness to truly experience and cherish every second. It's about remembering that the greatest guidance is often found not in the pursuit of something external, but in the inner peace that comes from appreciating the vast, beautiful universe unfolding around us, right here, right now.

Always from my soul ✨
