A Gift for You - A Flower and A Poem

 


Prayer to Fix the Affections

O Ancient One,
your web hangs down from the pines.
I am of the Owl clan.
I have been to water,
my dress is of red clay.
He moves at the edge of you,
binds us with your threads.
The center of his soul shall be my soul’s center.
Our paths shall be white forever.
Where we move the paths from every direction
shall recognize each other.
We are one never to be parted.

The flower pictures were taken in the gardens of the Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose, California. I lived in San Jose from the 6th grade through high school and this museum was occasionally a school excursion, which I loved. I hadn't been back since then and decided it was time for a revisit. It wasn't the same, but it was still special. More on another day.
 
Celebrate our differences and our delights!
Diversity is what makes our world most fascinating.
