Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Revival and renovation

Weeds, rot, dust and rust point out places you have neglected. With a little work you can bring those places back up to their full beauty and potential.

Where there is decay and decline you have a precisely defined opportunity. Echoes of what has been show the value of what can be, and instruct you in exactly how to make it come to life.

There are parts of your life, places in your world that could benefit greatly from a revival or a renovation. They represent large investments already made that will end up being either worthless or highly valuable, depending entirely on what you do.

Maybe it’s best to let some parts of your garden return fully to their natural state. Perhaps it’s appropriate to let certain relationships fade into nothing but distant memories.

Yet you do have much in your life that’s well worth saving, not only for you but also for others. What a shame it would be not to make the effort that will revive and refresh what has too long been neglected.

Look where disarray has crept in and see if you can envision new value there. Perhaps now is a good time for a little revival and renovation.
