When Will Your Flowers Bloom
If you’re invariably in a
race to be number one
life will pass you by in the
blink of an eye because
you have failed to seize
the moment. The prettiest
flowers aren’t always the
first to bloom.

John, this is so patient and hopeful.
With the question giving it a childlike wonderment and the gentle reasoning woven together ……it has a voice that for me is very zen garden centered.
Thank you for sharing this one.
You are welcome and thank you Coleman for reading and the kind comments.

A good reminder to slow things down and savor the moments as they come, as well as to not feel bad or like you’re falling behind if things aren’t going to plan.
That is very true, L. Thank you!
