Hidden by the Shade of a Willow

"Do you consider yourself a blessing

or just another person?" 

Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Flowers add beauty to our lives, whether they are in a lovely garden, sprawling across a gate or precariously hanging on a trellis.  The mass of colors lift our spirits as though we are seeing the Divine.  The fragrances are simply waves of bliss.

Seeds of flowers can be randomly strewn across ditches or cultivated in botanical gardens.  Either way, the results are good for the soul.  Orchids, for example, might stand as they are so delicate and  challenging to grow.  At the opposite end of the spectrum, dandelions, killed by thousands, are the first choice snatched by young chubby hands.

We are all blessings in the Divine Garden whether we stand alone or are gathered in a meadow.  We can be noticed for our individual grace or gazed upon in an elegant arrangement.  Let there be no doubt in our minds, each of us contribute to the whole whether we are arranged in a crystal vase or hidden by the shade of a willow.
