Unfolding

As I wander the pathways and gaze at the flowers, many of them in full bloom and many past their time.

But each time I see a flower just opening itself up to the world, a song comes mind. I can’t get it out of my head and it ends up on repeat all day long as I wander through gardens and conservatory rooms.

Each flower blooms in their own unique way, some unroll and some break forth from a tight bud and some seem to just expand like they are being stretched. The delicate lavender center of this iris makes me thing of angel wings, each one split just part way  down the feathery middle, a trio of angels with wings open and heads bowed.

The song brings a spring to my step and a smile to my face and I just can’t help but sing along right out loud.

Steven Curtis Chapman’s voice on repeat in my head emphasizes what each and every bloom represents…

A Glorious Unfolding!
