Lessons from Tulips


Remember these tulips from my previous post?

They were beautiful, then, supple, not yet emitting fragrance.

Do you think they are beautiful in their old, wrinkled state? I do.

In age they offer a crinkly beauty and release a delightful wafting scent which daintily fills the room.

Just as time releases the flower's scent, so does age release our wisdom which wafts into the world around us. Let us resolve to be wrinkly, crinkly, beautiful wise old people, God willing.

Just lovely!

Buy Flowers for Your Soul


In the dead of winter, I buy myself flowers. The soul requires nourishment, too.

Go. Vase some flowers. Look at them. 


In time, they will open and dance . . .


. . . and share their secrets. They will whisper Spring to you.
