274. When bright flowers bloom parchment crumbles, my words fade, the pen has dropped… ~Morpheus

He who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth
is generally considered a fortunate person,
but his good fortune is small
compared to that of the happy mortal
who enters the world
with a passion for flowers in his soul.

Ambrosia, food or drink of the gods in Greek mythology, brought to Olympus by doves and thought to be a kind of divine exhalation of the Earth–oh how tasty is ambrosia–mouthwatering, yummy ambrosia!  Leastways that’s the first word that comes to my mind when I see flower and color combinations like these is my photo.  But wait, some would say such things can’t be ambrosial because they aren’t food or drink.  And I would have to argue that they are, at least metaphorically speaking, because they are part of earth’s “divine exhalation” that satiates thirst in the spirit and hunger in the soul.   All of Creation shouts to the world that there is a Creator, and such is just one of its many compelling cries–sacred touches, as it were, of a loving God who wants to be found.

Ever since the creation of the world His eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things He has made.  ~Romans 1:20  ✝

    • Yes, missy. I took the pic in the greenhouse today! I’m just loving having a greenhouse especially this year with everything be so slow to start up outside. We actually have some chances for snow or freezing rain the next two days, but I’m sure it won’t amount to much if it comes. I sure hope you don’t get slammed as bad this time. Hugs and love, N

    • Thanks, Laurie. You know you’re right people do forget or just don’t know that the soul needs to be fed as well as their bellies. I didn’t for a long time in my younger days. But then I was young and stupid about a lot of things back then. Have a great week. Hugs, Natalie 🙂
