Nuisance Pests: “Life, Purpose and Parallels”

Warming sun bestowed by the heavens to provide life and sustenance to our every day. While watering my cucumber today, I crossed a culprit that I’m not very fond of, and quite honestly, I credit myself in collecting it to feed to what I call my “garden food chain.” (hehe) But seriously, this little booger insect (cabbage worm) has quite the voracious appetite. It attaches itself to any part of the plant in cocoon stages, them emerges. And with its sharp pincers, gnaws leaves misshaping them down to nothing in a systematic, rhythm like a typewriter. It can decimate any crop. They attacks at all stages of its growth leaving the plant near to no ability to survive or draw its much needed nutrients for strength from the sun through its leaves. Results are devastating and oftentimes irreversible damage because it can render a plant helpless to produce little to no fruit. Leaving it both visibly unsightly and unhealthy. Insects, like people have many similarities and destructive patterns of behavior. Some relationships can be toxic to our health, rendering us fragile. Whether in unhealthy choices in our lives, cancer, friends, career, love, etc. If you’re not cautious and attentive to your life choices and garden, it can get destroyed. People can negatively pull from your positive purpose intended, therefore leaving us vulnerable, drained or unproductive in life.

The garden, just as life, reflects this same theory. It is a vulnerable place and full of nuisance pests. Whether in love, friendship, at work or on the social scene, you always have to be aware of such vulnerabilities that prey on weaknesses– an achilles heel. Determine how to keep your plants and life healthy, then start with the nutrients that build that into a strong constitution. Nurture your visions, dreams, aspirations and desires into reality. But have a checks and balance system by choosing wisely for associations and circles (i.e, plants, flowers, beneficial and companion) Make room and time for entertainment and self time (i.e, Sun). Determine reasons for why you want to plant certain seeds in your garden and life, and research their benefits for establishing a balanced environment, because the results will show themselves in truth form.

Make a wise decision in people You chose to surround yourself with. Change your mind, focus and choices into healthier ones! And enjoy the reaping of your garden and life’s benefits– Growth. I do!

Be healthy!
