Dear Beautiful Bud,

Photo: Judith Kapp

You seem gently embraced as you move through your journey to full blossom.

You remind me, that I too am wrapped in love in each moment of my own 

journey.

Your full bud reminds me of all the unknowns that you hold

 and your patience as those unknowns become known.

So often I want to think I know exactly what is supposed to happen and yet that is not

what always comes forth.

Help me to become more comfortable with the unknowns in my own life, 

and more trusting.

Believing that whatever does come forth, will bring a most benevolent outcome for my life.

Thank you dear bud..your message is just what I needed to hear today.

I am most grateful. 

Dear Flowers,

I love your incredible fullness and uniqueness, 

as you carry a world within you

and each and everyone matters.

I love your sister's patient waiting to burst forth into the beauty of who she is.

Your diversity in color and texture is rich and deep.

I love the silent strength of each stem that holds you tall and strong.

You show us, in a beautiful way that in order for you 

to BE in your FULLNESS 

 many family members are needed, some easily seen, some not.

Help us in the human family to recognize our own interdependence

and to honor and give thanks for all those  visible, silent and unseen

that hold us up tall and strong in our daily lives.
