One beautiful day in mid-autumn, while watching my silent garden-scape, I remembered a voice I had heard from the flowers in the summer sun. "We flowers want your heart to blossom," they had said in one voice.

As I pondered that message, I wondered what the flowers meant.

Finally, the mist cleared from my mind and I realized the flowers' words were meant as encouragement for my spirit to unfold like them into a flower of happiness right here in my own time and place.
