It’s not easy to show what is hidden inside us, even to ourselves.
Sometimes the inhibitions affect us more than we’d ever know, but look - the magnolias come out before their leaves.
This is different to most.
By doing so, we get to see the blossoms only in these trees, while the others slowly begin to put on their green coat.
This flower finds the time when its beauty will be acknowledged and bring a smile to those that pass it.
It expresses that beauty while the other flowers are just beginning to wake up.
Once these start to grow, creating luscious colourful blankets like a skilled patchwork on the earth below, the magnolias happily leave the scene, having performed their duty.
Nature
In the curl of a dried-up leaf,
In the branch of a growing tree,
In the scent of a blooming rose,
Where your mark is ever present,
We see you and adore you
Among the chirping birds,
Among the rustling leaves,
Among the sun’s dancing rays,
Where your mark is ever present,
We see you and adore you
Beyond the towering mountains,
Beyond the vast green plains,
Beyond the endless oceans,
Where your mark is ever present,
We see you and adore you
Let me learn from you,
Let me flow with you,
Let me be one with you
Mother Nature
