It seems that most peoples opinion about flowers corresponds to how they feel about a lot of things in life; essentially, that more is better. People will travel across the world to see huge fields of tulips and rose gardens and other huge displays of flowers. But in a recent walk in the mountains, I realized the joy that comes from seeing the small individual flowers. The mountain wildflowers bloom all summer and into the fall. There are always new ones to enjoy. We have a statement that has always been on display in our house: "Bloom where you are planted." Maybe it is good to enjoy what we have around us rather than always seeking more.
Thanks for this encouraging message. I hope you and Ann are well.
