From Glory! to the Flowers:
"Glory! Glory!" we sing to the flowers. |
Days that we're restless and feeling undone, |
From the author's note to Glory!:
Just as the little acorn knows how to grow to be the perfect oak tree,
you, too, have all you need to be all you are.
Your work may be grand or simple. You may find it when you're young, or not
until you're much, much older—and that's all right. Shine, always, in your
own way. Stop no one else from shining.
One day, if you have children, teach them to be kind to every living thing. Help them, but don't try to make them be like you.

"Hello, Blue Flower!" you can think or say out loud. "You're beautiful!"
"One day when I was young, and walking with a friend, a field dry as straw bloomed with flowers. "Oh, glory!" we breathed, my good friend and I, for the flowers blazed like suns and fire and rainbows. They sprang from folds between hillsides, peeked from pockets of shade. Spiraling - dancing - they followed us home..." ![]() from Glory!'s author's note:
"Find work in your life that never bores you," Dr. Bach might say if you and he could meet. "Make sure your work is joy for you to do. Then do this work, no matter what. It is your gift to the world. It is your blessing to yourself." Copyright © 1995 by maggie s davis. All Rights Reserved. |
