Bermuda Blooms


Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.” Not who we are, but what.
 
By understanding nature, the world around us, we can understand our own whatness. By entering nature, we can enter ourselves.
 - Gretel Ehrlich, in her book The Solace of
 Open Space

I just find flowers to mimic the cycle of life. I also find solace looking at their distinct features... 
the bud, the intricacies of colors, petals. The wilting flowers, as it surrenders to the inevitable.   Their colors almost provide enough mystery to keep my my mind away from the busy world.

Flowers remind me of how blessed we are.
