kinder collects pretty flowers
picked from the garden
with fairies hiding within
to give to her mom
mom will be so happy
and the fairies will too.
—
“the fleeting flowers-
which mostly bloom for only a couple weeks-
have long served as spiritual metaphors,
and a reminder to live in the present moment.”
-National Geographic magazine
Ah, so lovely.

Living in the present moment reminds me of the admonition that was the title of Ram Dass’s 1971 book: Be Here Now.

You’ve stirred wonderful memories of bringing flowers to my own mother: lily of the valley, violets, and dandelions. If we’re lucky, we learn the pleasure of giving early.

Dorinda wrote a poem (I think it was yesterday) about kids picking flowers for their moms. This is so lovely to see this again. It always touched me when they surprised me with picked flowers in their little hands 😍

Children thrive on being appreciated for what they do. People who wonder why the world is in such a sorry state need look no further than how it raises its children.
