WEEDS GROW WHEN THE GRASS IS DORMANT. HOW TO APPLY THIS METAPHOR TO THE PANDEMIC by J Loren Norris
WEEDS GROW STRONGER WHILE THE GRASS IS DORMANT. HOW DO YOU APPLY THIS METAPHOR?
Every fall the beautifully manicured lawns of St Augustine grass begin the process of “shutting down for winter.” The grass goes dormant, turns brown, stalls its growth and spreading process in wait for the spring.
Meanwhile, all the weeds in the universe seem to migrate to the well watered, healthy soil of the lawn. Surely, weeds can and will grow anywhere!! They grow in the cracks in the sidewalk, the arid desserts, the middle of the road given half a chance.
As you apply this truth to the metaphorical areas of your life, ask yourself questions like this:
“Did anyone teach me to lie and deceive my parents when I was a toddler?”
“Do I have to pursue distractions and random useless thoughts, or do they simply appear against my will?”
“Are all of my activities and efforts focused with intention on the goals and dreams I have decided on?”
“Do I allow boredom to conquer my desire to live a healthy life?”
“Do I cultivate, nourish, irrigate, defend and guard my thoughts and activities like I would a lush but delicate lawn?”
“Do I allow ‘weed like’ notions, activities and distractions to rule my time, talent, treasure and attention?”
While the world of business activity is dormant due to this global pandemic, don’t allow the weeds to take over. Business will resume. Work will be available. Relationships will be reignited. However, JUST LIKE THE DORMANT LAWN they will all be suffering from an infestation of weeds! Don’t allow the presence of weeds to starve everything you have worked for up to now. Don’t set the grass afire to destroy the weeds. Be prepared to pull the weeds by hand if you must. Get a firm grip and pull them up by the roots!!
