Two of Staves - Tyldwick

[Bodhiseed]

Two of Staves: In this image, two spikes of a red hot poker (aka torch lily) stand against a bare background. This plant is a native of Africa, so it likes lots of sun and heat. Hummingbirds love these flowers. Here, one inflorescence (cluster of flowers) is in full bloom while another is just beginning; hummingbirds could enjoy the fully opened flowers on the one spike, but would have to wait a while for the other spike's flowers to completely open. In the same way, we often find ourselves enjoying some part of life, but wondering, "Is this all there is?" What we have is good, but there might be something even better out there. We begin to feel restless. Should we maintain the status quo or strike out for new territory? It would require some effort on our part if we decide to branch out, and patience and tenacity would be needed as well. If the excitement of doing something more/different grabs us, we're going to have to emerge from our comfy cocoons.

ETA: As torch lilies bloom, they flower beginning on bottom of the flower stalk and work their way up. (Thank you @Rose Lalonde for this information!)

This may suggest that our enthusiasm for one thing is fading and we're looking for something we think might energize us again. It may also suggest that adding 'more' might create more work and worry, further taking away from time to relax and enjoy life.
