Musing: Redefining Reverence

written March 13, 2008

Do not let my delicate petals deceive you; my strength is deeply rooted in mother earth. She nourishes me and teaches me how to stand firm against the elements that threaten my very existence.

Do not let my vibrant colors distract you; each one appears for a reason. Each hue tells a different story about who I am and where I come from and what I want from life.

Do not let my stature misguide you; I may be small, but my determination is infinite. I am not afraid to travel the highs and lows of the earth and sky to find the answers I need to survive.

Do not let my scent overwhelm you. It is the aroma of my soul; the very essence of life and love.

Do not uproot me to keep for your viewing pleasure; I will eventually wither and die from your selfish desire and suffocation.

Admire my strength and beauty. Respect my stature. Appreciate my flora. And recognize that equality is necessary for my survival and evolution.
