Flowers

We wish to speak to you of flowers today. Consider them. Fragile, beautiful, ephemeral. They are your most intimate expression of the truth of life. You see they are fragile. You touch them and the petals fall or wither. And yet they grow in the most forbidding cracks in rocks and sidewalks. They grow where it is cold, even through snow. They grow where it is incredibly hot and arid. They grow beneath water. They grow at great heights. They are emphemeral and yet...and yet...and yet they grow again and again. Cut them down and they sprout anew. Plant them and they come up year after year. Oh yes, we know the individual flower may not have that experience, but the life that is flowers does have that experience. And beauty. Have you seen such beauty! Haven't you had your breath taken away by the sight of them? Have you not closed your eyes and breathed in their heavenly scent? Have they not gladdened your heart and again and again? You know where we are going with this...for we want you to know that you are the Flower of the Lord. Like the flower, you do not have to do anything to deserve, you only have to "be" who you are. You are beautiful in our sight. You are provided for where it seems there are impossible conditions. Yes, you even thrive! The next time you see a flower, feel your kinship with the life that is expressed. It is another expression of you. Of your beauty. Of your life force. For all is One, do you see? We breath in your heavenly scent. We close our eyes in pleasure at your presence.
