The Courage of the Bloom
Ah, the courage of the bloom to respond fully to the call
The call of nature beckoning it to reveal it’s magnificence, it’s allure
Tender but firm the petals unfold
Exposed, vulnerable, radiant
It’s full expression manifest
The world nourished
Ah, the courage to own it’s elegant beauty
Standing alone, completely open
Offering all that it has without fear
Ah, the Glory!
The Calla Lily, symbol of resurrection
An invitation for a new beginning
Rising to new life
Remind me precious bloom of the beauty within my own being
Remind me of the power of sharing what is my natural state
Remind me that without fear there is only Love
I am that
I am Love
(Possibly a metaphor for the heart … )
