I missed a day because I was on a retreat with some wonderful Christian women. And the subject of our retreat? Spring. Gardens. Seasons. And the word? Well, how appropriate ... Yesterday's word was "anthesis" ... an-THEE-sis ... Botany. the period or act of expansion in flowers, especially the maturing of the stamens. (Dictionary.com) Also, the time a flower is open and functional.
Flower
We all grow up in the midst of change,
Stretch our perceptions as we age,
Rely on self, on God or none,
Think life is serious or fun.
But no matter what our choices,
What the tenor of those voices,
We'll not reach the anthesis we desire,
Unless we find our own true fire.
