You Dare to Bloom…

Daring and brave, this. Do you feel the weight of your missing petals? Symmetry has gone on an extended vacation; Harmony of composition eludes you. The buds nearby retain their superior potential And snigger behind your back, A symphony of clashing comments All the louder for their implied silence. What makes you bloom? Yours is…

Daring and brave, this.

Do you feel the weight of your missing petals?

Symmetry has gone on an extended vacation;

Harmony of composition eludes you.

The buds nearby retain their superior potential

And snigger behind your back,

A symphony of clashing comments

All the louder for their implied silence.

What makes you bloom?

Yours is not a  lot to be fawned over,

Celebrated with a named star on a famous sidewalk,

Or heralded by brilliantly garish marquee lights.

And yet –

You dare to bloom…

    Today I just took the most gorgeous photo of a squash blossom as it was beginning to become squash… The miracle of bloom, and even more to turn bloom into fruit, is a great gift to us who can appreciate such things. What a lift it has given my day!

      And what encouragement to your journey as you watch the cycle of life living itself out before your eyes – there is something very healing about watching the process, isn’t there?
