Ironic Beauty

So, I live in the wooded area of this little base. The other night on the way home from Allison's final farewell, I was walking up the outdoor stairs on the way home. My little BOQ building is pretty much hidden in the brush. I had some tears in my eyes and I was looking down, so I would not trip (me, trip...gasp). ha.

I looked over in the brush and these beautiful flowers were there. I maneuvered myself into the brush and got them. I wiped my tears and all of the sudden I was filled with great joy and peace.

These flowers were a subtle symbol of how beautiful life is and how friendships grow and blossom over time.

"If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength."
