I’m so glad you’re here.
I'm Elizabeth. My highest values are beauty, truth, freedom & love. Everything I share comes from that.
Possibly this is not a weed! Sometimes I do so wish I knew the names of more flowers/etc. But based on where I see them, it did seem appropriate.
That’s an interesting quote. There are a lot of pairs of words that can be substituted for “weeds” and “flowers”. Sometimes all we need to do is “get to know them”.
Pretty photo! Looks a little bit wintery, getting ready for the upcoming season?
Jerry: That is true for me too.
Helen: Ha. No. Don’t rush the weather! It’s still fall.
Your blog is such a perfect place to peek into while I’m on my 10 day home retreat. And yes to the quote! Sometimes I feel like a hearty weed that has survived and now, left to my own devices, thrive.
i love a a milne.
and here… where it’s usually a drought and the hottest summers…
you’ll see little flowering weeds coming up through CRACKS in the sidewalk!
no fancy gardens and mulching and feeding for them!
they’re survivors. and they bloom their little hearts out! i love them for that.
not to even mention they’re beautiful.
Kimberley: I hear you. May you continue to thrive. I feel honored that you were here! Wishing you a nourishing rest-of-retreat.
Tammy: I can see them! Dear little blooms of wonder.
