What the flowers whispered

 We all have days where life seems to be getting too much for us, and we lose our Still Center. Today had been one of those days for me. Yet these beautiful little creatures growing in my wife's garden, amidst a sea of concrete paving, whisper another truth to me. The truth that even amidst what seems like a desolate landscape, where life seems to be missing, beautiful gifts from the Holy One can indeed be there, growing and flourishing, seemingly unnoticed by the rest of the world. 

And so I find myself appreciating my little friends in the garden, and noticing them for what they are. More than this even, I ask myself where are the small, gentle, quiet and as yet unnoticed seeds of beauty all around me in my own life ? And how do I notice and appreciate them for what they are?

And, if anyone is reading this - what are the little flowers of beauty unnoticed but there, growing and vibrant and full of life, in your own life, in your own Journey ?

Beautiful and bountiful blessings from Scotland,
