Life in today's busy world
Do you ever feel like....
You have fallen into a crack? Well, take strength from this photo. On July 1, yes, Canada Day Lou and I went for a walk about town. To celebrate Canada and where we live. I stopped along the way and took many photos, but this one truly stayed in my vision, long after the camera did its job.
Falling through the cracks can be very upsetting at times. But if we just wait, and give life a chance we all may be surprised at the beauty we will find after the wait. Imagine this flower. I know that it was a seed from last year's town flower decorations growing in those half wine caskets that are usually placed along the sidewalk near the road. Last years was filled with pink petunias. I know this because this year we have bright reds and whites. Smart little detective that I am.
So......this little seed found its way there last fall, and waited patiently through the winter storms, the spring cold and rain, dark nights, and long days. Waiting patiently until that magic moment when suddenly something inside this little seed says......it's time to make my move.
From the little seed grew this beautiful flower, albeit, small, it is beautiful and strength of character is just blooming there for anyone who chooses to notice. What amazes me most, no one has picked, stepped upon, or in other ways destroyed this determined little bloom.
So let this be a life lesson for all of us. Be strong, grow where you are planted, and let your own colours shine for all the world to see.
