    That was beautiful, Lisis.

    My eyes welled up, really.

    Hey, David! This was always my favorite one. It kind of got overlooked and buried, because it was early on, but I really like it. I’m glad you do, too.

    Thanks!

    I just discovered this post and it really is a wonderful piece of writing. It hits so many things right on the head and in such a beautiful way. I will never look at an iris bulb in quite the same way ever again!

    Don’t know what happened to my keyboard then. Must have been in a hurry! Should have typed ‘quite’!

    Ha! I wondered what that was… thought it might be a secret code for me to decipher. ;-)

    I’m glad you liked it!

    Hi Lisis,
    This is beautifully written. As I was reading it, I just kept thinking of my own life, and how I – all too often – think some of these thoughts. How easy it can be to forget about our own true flowers, deep within us, and how unique and amazing they are.

    Letting nature take it’s course…and I think of how we, as humans, have a difficult time fully allowing our heart to shine. Maybe it feels vulnerable (it does for me), scary (yep, that too), and yet – all so good and right. Deeply moving, this is for me today….

    Lisis Sweetie,
    This is so beautifully written. Something about this made me feel like…it was just written for me. Let all the pain go away..and just BE. I love it. Your words truly just flow.
    Lessons from nature…priceless. Really we can learn from everyone and everything thats around us…if we just choose to open our eyes and see.
    Lots of love

    Hi, Lance and Zeenat! It’s so neat to see you here, on one of my very first posts. It is kinda like traveling back in time, and extending our friendship in both directions on the time line… a reminder that you have always been there (even if I didn’t know it yet).

    This was really one of my favorites because, when I wrote it, I didn’t even know what a blog was. I was thinking only of the Iris, the Oak, and my life… how impatient I can get. The result was an uncensored flow of thoughts and emotions that I can really connect with to this day.

    Thank you for stopping by here and sharing this moment with me. :)

    Wow Lisis, this is beautiful, I just love it!

    Thank you, Sweetness.
