a riot of flowers

5/17/11 Last week we had a significant rainfall. At our house we got almost 3 inches. It was the first moisture in months. Over the last few days on my walks in the mornings I have noticed what difference this rainfall has made. The most obvious clue is a riot of flowers. White day lilies with accent colors of light purple and pink have sprung up everywhere.

What struck me is this: the potential for the flowers was always there. It just took the blessing of rain for them to come forth.

I wonder what beauty lies beneath many of the situations and persons we encounter. I wonder what it would take for a riot of flowers to spring up in them.

Love,
Lynn
