Reflections on Bananas


You know the expression "Bananas"?
It means saying that someone is cuckoo or crazy.

In Biosynthesis we consider a persons defense like a second skin, they need it in order to survive. Behind that second skin there can be something going on that is beautiful. It will appear at the right moment for that person, not when you want it but when the person is ready.

Why this story?
This morning I was looking at the banana tree in the rain, it's cold and wet and shaken by the wind. But these green little bananas they just hang there. They do not seem to care but inside the green skin there is something going on, growing, ripening. It takes them more then a year to become sweet and wonderful bananas and when they are ready their skin start to turn yellow. Like saying to the world, Now I am Ready!!!

I think it is not so bad to be bananas if that means respecting your rhythm, your pace and keeping your secrets until they are ready to be shown to the world.
You decide.................

and at least monkeys like bananas!

Take care of your garden,
