People go through a metaphorical pruning each year before they experience a season of waking up so to speak. Pruning can be quite deliberate like letting go of old patterns consciously. Other times the Universe brings in certain situations to nudge the pruning process ahead. #deepwildcoaching

We say ‘Welcome’ to March Poets say ‘Come. Let’s go out. It’s time to flower’ D’Annunzio Botticelli- 'Primavera'. (Spring) daffs invading my herb pots Is that a metaphor?

As daffs sprout in my herb pots I anticipate wet windowpanes & sodden Spring. I used to think walking in the rain wasn’t romantic. We shift 🪴🌈🌼🌿 After years of indifference I am more inclined to favour gentle understanding. Let’s sing to that youtu.be/h37wTMmR1wE?...

Thanks to @helenbevan.bsky.social "Corporate amnesia" or "institutional forgetting" – where organisations lose valuable knowledge, experience & insights over time (& reinvent approaches whilst not considering existing expertise &/or not making the time to learn from what happened previously).
