Flowers.

[Gem]

The world is a garden, and although man has torn things from the earth, the world is what it is.

There is no denial of war and awfully brutal crime... it's a very sad world in many many ways, and such things as forests are being destroyed by man, reducing the biodiversity, so there are less wild flowers.

What is man paying attention to? Something he himself has desire for is so important to him, more important than forests, more important than flowers...

If you look into the night sky there are stars shining... we don't own these stars and we do not desire them... and the Earth is actually a star in the night sky no different than those 'out there', but we pretend we own the earth and buy and sell it in pieces and lots.

These are MY flowers on MY land... They become MINE and I tear them from this star by their roots because they are in the way of that which I desire.

The gift is there already, the Earth is a garden, enjoy the flowers.

I am amazed at the intricate simplicity of a flower, often i am captivated by the sensual beauty, but.. even moreso as i realize the interconnectedness that finds the same flower is my soul, my 'self' caressing those that will bring their awareness to the experience..

Be well..

PS: Click the pic.. will i ever figure this out???

A couple of flower power pictures that I took close up towards the peak of Mt. St. Helen.

And a fav. poem written (Gem's reminded me of), where the line of the first wild flower I thought beautiful...



The poem I should like to write was written long ago,

In vast primeval valleys and on mountains clad in snow;

It was written where no foot of man or beast had ever trod,

And where the first wild flower turned its smiling face to God;

Where mighty winds swept far and wide-oer dark and sullen seas,

And where the first earth-mother sat, a child upon her knees.



The poem I shoud like to write is written in the stars,

Where Venus holds her glowing torch behind her gleaming bars;

Where old Arcturus swings his lamp across the fields of space,

And all his brilliant retinue is wheeling in place;

Where unknown suns must rise and set, as ages onward fare--

The poem I should like to write is surely written there.

No human hand can write it, for with a pen divine,

The Master Poet wrote it--each burning word and line.

Margaret A. Windes, contemporary American

Miss ya, Gem.

Queen Ann's Lace, a wildflower that always reminded me of my mom, the name is formal, but it's a wildflower, therefore informal, she was the closest thing to a perfect mom, as the flower is closest thing to a perfect wildflower.

Where did gem go? LOL

Queen annes lace is actualy a carrot! Peice of learing for the day.

Ive never been a flower person, but they have never ceased to amaze me in their simple complexity, and how the literaly make life as we know it today possible. Something we usualy think of as insignificant and static, is the reason why we are here in many ways!!!!

Hail flowers!

PS I cant post any pics from my yard yet cause everything has just started growing! Another great thing, the smell in the air in spring from all the blooms!
