Flowers

I love the story of Jesus talking about flowers, he reminded us to “Consider” them. I have found that by actually considering flowers, you can learn a lot about life.

You can’t though consider a flower if you are in any kind of hurry. Flowers don’t move very fast, so you have to try and breath a little more slowly, then you have to draw in a bit closer and start to listen. Caress their folds with your eyes and let their scent cleanse your head. Now perhaps you are ready for them to tell you a story. Love them and they will love you in return. Listen tenderly, learn warmly and wisdom will grow like a fragrant bloom in your heart.

Soon those around you will start to slow down too and gradually the world will fill with flowers.
