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!

I just linked up to Playdates today too. We are neighbors there, so perhaps we’re just in time for each other.
Hiking is a joy inaccessible to me right now because of ankle injuries and health issues. It is a treat to join you on yours via your beautiful photos. Also, this is the second place this morning I’ve encountered that same SC2 song, one I’m not too familiar with although I’m a long-time fan. Maybe that’s what the Lord wants on repeat for me today too? 🙂
Thank you for sharing where you met with Him. Grace and peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for stopping by! It is a great song and such a catchy melody. Hope you are able to get it on repeat. 🙂
