enchanted.

Posted on January 12, 2017 by beth

today we found a beautiful flower that survived

under the snow and ice and rain and arctic temperatures of january.

were very surprised.

it must be enchanted.

“the only words that ever satisfied me as describing nature

are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment.

they express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery.”
-g. k. chesterton

Those elements of nature certainly show us how to be resilient! What wonderful eyes of a child to spot this! 🙂

It is amazing what little people see that help big people believe again. Wonderment comes to mind and awesomeness. Thank you Beth for sharing that even a little bud can survive a harsh January and come out smelling like a rose even when it’s not.
