January 11, 2012


This plant is the most resilient plant I have ever seen.  Sometimes when we see strength and determination in the small things in life, we are encouraged ourselves to exhibit these qualities in our own lives.  This plant continuously surprises me in its will to survive.  I have photographed here the two baby leaves that we have been watching grow.  They are still growing and are about to unfold into their own separate leaves.  The most surprising thing seen in this photograph, though, are the two baby leaves emerging out from the bottom of this image.  This is the spot where a leaf fell off months ago.  Now, after having a few months pass by, two new leaves are going to grow out of where the one leaf fell.  That is soooo amazing!!!  Something in which I thought was so devastating has now become a situation where double the blessing has been delivered.  It reminds me to continuously hold on to hope, even when life seems terrible, we never know the blessings that are in store for us if we hang in there.

About Me

My photo
I have always understood life through metaphors that paint a world I can both love and understand. Deep...describes my soul perfectly. To some it may be overwhelming; but to most, my authenticity is refreshing.
