Bloom

  Patience peels the layers, gets past the rind to the heart of the matter, persistence sees beyond the fluff and seeks substance, but Love – love makes her soul bloom.

Patience peels the layers,

gets past the rind

to the heart of the matter,

persistence sees beyond

the fluff and seeks

substance, but

Love – love makes

her soul bloom.

    Would that I could bloom as beautifully as the peony?

    Oh, I’m crazy for this one, Mel–wonderful, and so true!

    1. melodylowes

      Thank you! I’m enjoying the rewards of all of the work I’ve put into my yard – glorious. Many more photos to come!

        Yippeee–I was thinking about you last night (well, more like 3am), wondering where you’d gotten to of late. Though I think time just blurs for me, so maybe I think you haven’t been around for awhile–but it’s just been day before yest’day! Anyway, you’re always in my heart, and prayers.

        Aw, thanks. I need that. Summer can be so disconnected, you know? I have been busy busy in my garden, getting it ready for my on-site magazine tour (local gardening mag) and having so much fun! My muscles and joints wouldn’t agree, I don’t suppose….Ouch!)

      3. bennetta faire

        Congrats on the mag tour, Mel! Gosh, you’re famous all over the place!

    Loved this you just described my relationship with my husband!

    1. melodylowes

      Wonderful! I’m always glad to hear about good relationships out there – there are so many rotten ones…

    hopefully I’ll peel back as gracefully as your inspirational poem~worthy of my God. Blessings sweet Melody ~Debbie

    Melody, I have been so busy that time escapes me from reading my favorite bloggers. Wow. Just catching up this morning with a cup of coffee is heavenly. You inspire and enlighten my day. Thank you!

    1. melodylowes

      Aw, thanks Millie. I haven’t been doing nearly the reading I usually do, either – summer is like that. I’ve spent countless hours out and about in my garden and snapping photos for the days and weeks ahead and haven’t been inside much. I’m glad I was a part of your morning! 🙂

    It is because love transforms everything and everyone.
