The Magnificence of Flowers


Driving through the Texas hill country this time of year, one is astounded and awe struck by the beauty of the wildflowers. Bluebonnets blanket the meadows, hills and roadsides with splashes of brilliant yellow, red, pink, and purple. These flowers are freely given for us all to enjoy. They enfold us in their aroma and mesmerize us with their beauty. Flowers for me are the exclamation point of creation, the final touch.

Teilhard de Chardin suggests that "Consciousness is humanity's flower; it is our unique way of expressing the loving spiritual presence within us. It also is the God-given tool we must wield in the creative process."

Awakening to our consciousness and becoming aware of our oneness is the evolution of humanity toward Spirit. It is the unfolding of the rose, the pressing forward to full expression. It is the game we are here to play.

After seeing this years bountiful expression in wildflowers, I am excited about the unfolding of my life into full expression.
