Stapelia

Yesterday afternoon, I got influenza. 
Louise Hay's affirmation is: "I am beyond group beliefs or the calendar. I am free from all congestion and influence."
This thought echoed in my head whilst taking this picture. 
The flowers of these plants are foul-smelling. The hairs and coloration mimic decaying animal matter, thus attracting flies, which act as pollinators.
It is amazing to realize that this fly and this flower, has a built-in intelligence. An intent that happens without effort.
I also realized that this fly and this flower has no ego. They just are. What happened to the human race? Why is it that we constantly get in our own way, with our own ego, instead of just living and being the way we were intended?
Today I will practice the affirmation: I am beyond group beliefs, and I am free from congestion.
