+ Her Barefoot Heart
All things are symbolic by their very nature
and all talk of something beyond themselves.
~Thomas Merton
There are
so many ways
to see
a dahlia,
each of them
beautiful
in their own
unique
way
if you ask me.
and i can’t help
but wonder
how different things would be if
we could see
people
as dahlias.

Sigh. This is so beautiful, and, of course, it brings to mind Georgia’s famous line about how it takes time to really see a flower just as to be a friend takes time. All of this careful looking requires patience and fortitude, sometimes. Thank you for reminding me of the tremendous gifts of doing so. xox
our georgia. oh yes, who could ever look at flowers close up and not think of her and smile. sugar, your perspective and the way you string words and thoughts and feelings together always calms me and makes me smile with a sigh. thank you.
