Garden Wisdom
It has occurred to me there’s much to be learned in a garden…
How to stand out in a crowd:
Seeing things in their best possible light:
And from more than one angle:
We’re reminded to embrace our differences:
Support our friends when they fall:
Tolerate the occasional flaw:
And always look for the inner beauty:
I’m wishing you a beautiful day.
That was such an inspirational, not to mention beautiful post. Your words and photography are a sublime combination.
