Freedom’s Choice
Such startling contrasts
Often get our attention
We often question why
When pain and suffering enter in
Yet in the midst of all of that raucous din
We seem to forget to ask why
All the beauty and majesty are there as well
Sometimes as small as the hermit crab’s shell
Sometimes as grand as the redwood
Sometimes in the message of a flower pastel
Who despite the presence of blackened death nearby
Simply shines on in all of its glory
Maybe I should learn the lesson here
Maybe I should hear the story
In spite of circumstances, war, or shame
I can still go on, living my name
Reveling in my freedom to choose the good

I really appreciate hearing this today, its always nice to be reminded to enjoy the glorious beauty. The flower in the picture is one of my favourites, it grows wild on the sides of roads here, and no matter how dry and hot it gets, the flowers look as fresh as morning dew ☺️

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’m always glad when something that seems “coincidental” turns out to really reach out and make a good moment for someone. Have a great week!
