The Blue Nile Lilies are not yet in bloom, but I love the movement in this photograph. Life is energy. May we always radiate love, no matter who and what we are facing.
This photograph was taken in my front garden years ago. The lily, which is at least 30 years old, continues to do well. I draw inspiration from all the plants in my garden, but the older ones sing a special message: "Simply be."
Day 2
I greet this day with love in my heart.
Henceforth, I look on all life with compassion.
I realize the rebirth within myself.
I love the sun, and it warms me.
Yet, I love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.
I love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I welcome happiness for it expands my heart;
I endure sadness for it teaches me compassion.
I experience the challenges of my life
as they aid in my growth.
I greet this day with love in my heart.
