Springtime
It is springtime, even if the thermometer doesn’t show it. Last Friday I went to the tulip fields at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, OR. My friend Marcia and I spent the afternoon walking through the vast fields that were a sea of tulips. It was a wonderful opportunity to chat and connect without interruptions while exploring and taking in the beauty of the flowers. From a distance the individual flowers blend together and seem to lose their individuality. Upon closer inspection it is easy to see the individuality and uniqueness that each blossom holds.
As we walked and talked I thought about how people are similar to the flowers. It is so easy for us to all blend together. We must take time to see the beauty of the individual.
