One of the nicest things about my love of wildflowers, is that each day can be such a wonderful surprise.
\nThis morning, even before I am fully awake I am thinking about her.\u00a0 I am eager in anticipation of finally gazing upon her beautiful face.\u00a0 Among my new patch of wildflowers, daily visions of wonder are frequent and for me full of sheer delight.<\/p>\n

On a daily walk of gratitude, this now is always my first stop.\u00a0 In sunshine of course, I stop to feel the glorious streams of light as they warm my back and shoulders, and then too ..\u00a0 my smiling face, raised up to receive.\u00a0 When I am filled, I gaze lovingly at each and every delicate face also smiling in glory.\u00a0 I watch bees and butterflies as they gather in sweetness, and I marvel at every shade of vibrant beauty.\u00a0 Here – \u00a0I am ever so grateful,\u00a0 for life.<\/p>\n

Now, this morning, I have been waiting to see one beauty in particular.\u00a0 She has been growing steadily taller, among the many others,\u00a0 but waiting patiently for her moment to shine.\u00a0\u00a0 As she grows I can see the flower head developing in size and I am eager to see just how she will display.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A few days ago, I can see her beautiful head gaining strength and the very first sight of the softest delicate pink and I am instantly smitten.\u00a0 Yesterday, after work I noticed that she was just beginning to open,\u00a0 but I don\u2019t go too close as I don\u2019t wish to spoil her debut, by arriving before she is fully ..\u00a0 herself.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning,\u00a0 under a rather cloudy sky, I wonder how she is feeling? I\u2019m not convinced it\u2019s the day for flowers, until \u2026<\/p>\n

the sunshine masterfully breaks through the clouds, and I know it\u2019s time \u2013 to step out,\u00a0 to see.<\/p>\n

I find my place, and I feel the sun as she shines on me.\u00a0 Strong glorious rays warm my skin and draw me up in great gratitude.\u00a0 I close my eyes,\u00a0 I fill my lungs to full capacity as my face and neck stretch up to receive the strength of love and light.\u00a0 And then,\u00a0 I turn to greet this new most beautiful being in all her splendour.<\/p>\n

She is pink, but the most glorious pink I have seen today.\u00a0 She is just as beautiful as I had anticipated, and I am most grateful for this blessing.<\/p>\n

Really this sounds like such a simple moment in my day, ( possibly to you, this even sounds quite ridiculous!)\u00a0 but to me,\u00a0 the waiting, the watching, \u00a0the mystery .. the small glimpse of beauty, the delicate hint of pink … \u00a0 perfection.<\/p>\n

And then,\u00a0 the slow unveiling and arrival of such a miraculous beautiful thing as this, brings absolute astonishing Joy to my day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple thing,<\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

it\u2019s<\/p>\n

Everything \u2665<\/p>\n
