May you know the tenacity of serviceberry
The grace of dogwood
The heart of plum
And the ferocity of raspberry.
May you have the wisdom to know
When to flow like the river
When to stand like the mountain
May you dance with the rain
Allow your thunder to be heard
Smile with the radiance of the sun
And may you know you walk in the hand of the goddess…

I was entranced by this early-morning tulip today. Grown from a random bag of bulbs from an Earth Day event at the university several years ago, I love its sunset colors.
And, then just a few hours later, my precious tulip looked like this!
(Tulips are extra special everyday magic to me because they usually don’t make it this far with the chickens and the kids.)
