Spring is here and flowers are blooming in many yards as I drive back and forth on my busy schedule. I am reminded of this quote that I love!
Everything
is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there
would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke
I love getting flowers personally. For Mother's Day I received some surprises while we were away. One was this pretty corsage that was fashioned on a ribbon so I could wear it on my wrist. From my RMA ladies back at home!! I loved it!
And Dr Hicks gave me a corsage also that day. So thoughtful and kind of him. So I felt covered in flowers, loved and very special that day. And when we returned home, our daughter had flowers waiting on me in our house. Another sweet surprise!
Pictures are wonderful because what is but a moment in time can be preserved to always enjoy later by viewing a picture. Now I can enjoy these flowers again and again.
Today I hand you a flower....... stop from your busy life and take just 5 minutes to set in a beautiful spot, someplace you enjoy maybe in your home, or outside in your yard. And just be.... look around you..... take in the look of the place you are setting in.... enjoy breathing and being still.... give yourself a moment in time to treasure your existence in life. It's just a little flower in the state of perfection at the moment, but soon to pass and fade. It's like life's moments.... here today but for a fleeting moment.
Teach me, Father, how to go
Softly as the grasses grow;
Hush my soul to meet the shock
Of the wild world as a rock;
But my spirit, propt with power,
Make as simple as a flower.
Let the dry heart fill its cup,
Like a poppy looking up;
Let life lightly wear her crown,
Like a poppy looking down,
When its heart is filled with dew,
And its life begins anew.
Edwin Markham - A Prayer
I hope you are a flower given today in the life of someone who needs encouragement.
I hope you are a drink of cool water today to someone who is dry and thirsty.
Because life is incredibly short and none may know when the moment is swiftly gone and the recapturing of loved ones impossible. Dr Gayla Holley
