A perfect reflection of
"Before"
and
"After"
which is not quite
that clear cut.
The tightly closed bud
reminds us
of the
slow and patient
movement
toward its flowering.
While
the beautiful blossom
announces
the gift
of that waiting time!
May we honor ourselves
and one another
as we journey through
our own waiting times
joyfully anticipating
the blossoming!
