"There is something of the marvelous
in all things of nature."
Aristotle
There is a bird feeder hanging from the backyard fence. It has been filled numerous times with sunflower seeds. It has been uplifting to watch the stream of birds flying in for food. These birds, a wide range, calm my soul and remind me of the connection with all there is.
A few weeks ago, little sprouts were breaking ground beneath the feeder. The lawnmower moved discreetly around the patch. In time it was quite apparent that sunflowers were now growing. They brought excitement, color, and the graceful way nature continuously enters our life.
This gathering of sunny yellow flowers, awaken me to the never ending impact nature brings. It broadens my insight regarding respect and honor to earth, water, wind and fire. These summer flowers reflect a commitment to nurturing, planting, and creating, resulting even farther ... thinking of oil, seeds, and creative challenge.
