Do As Wildflowers Do



Although I never seem to have my "big camera" for these unexpected delights, the wildflowers still look stunning:

 




As the Texas wildflowers continue to dazzle the landscape with their whimsy and beauty, the following Rumi poem has also been occupying my thoughts:



Very little grows on jagged rock.

Be ground. 

Be crumbled,

so wildflowers will come up

where you are.

You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.

Surrender.
                           -Rumi



Not a wildflower, but certainly a "rose among thorns."
