Dare to Bloom

I love it when nature takes us by surprise and says ‘Hey, look up!’

Fall has fully fallen. My flower beds have laid themselves down for winter. Amidst wind, rain, and freezing nights, I was startled by a flash of color. A flower dared to bloom. Brilliant. Bright. Joyous life!

I think it’s there to teach. What if we dared to do what is within us? Even if it’s out of place with all the rest?

It would be beautiful. It will bless someone.

Let’s dare to bloom.

Amen.
