Let one thousand flowers bloom

By John Coldebella
 
AFTER the bleakness of winter, we look forward to the recharging of our batteries with longer and warmer days.
 
Spring flowers lift the spirits and herald the return of vitality in plant life after that period of dormancy. I am amazed at the seemingly endless possibilities of colour combinations, artistic design and textures.
 
Much could be said about these marvels of nature, but they speak for themselves in a language that is beyond my vocabulary.

Reminds me of the famous story of the Buddha:
"To the disciple who asked him about the truth, without a word he showed him a flower."

This was such a beautifully written and insightful piece! I really appreciated the deep connection to nature and the reminder of how important biodiversity is in our surroundings. Your observations about the resilience and beauty of wildflowers were both poetic and thought-provoking. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion—this was a joy to read!
