Soften Our Walk

A flower is one of the world’s most beautiful ornaments . . .

So full of life . . .

Sharing its beauty

in sunshine and rain . . .

It creates with little movement and much growth . . .

It allows the sweetness of honey in our world . . .

It is also fragile . . .

We willingly tiptoe around them to avoid a misstep of damaging consequence . . .

The human spirit is much the same,

fragile, vulnerable, and beautiful . . .

May we soften our walk to preserve the dignity of all . . .

The beauty of all . . .

Because like the flower,

our lives are short in both sunshine and rain . . .
