Wistfully she twisted towards the sunlight. She grew sideways but always kept her eyes on the prize. When at last she reached the sunlight her sideways journey straightened out and she offered up her buds to soak it up. Her journey was hard. Most of her fellow weedlings were allowed to grow straight up, fast as arrows. But because of her winding path she developed acrobatic flexibility and talent that they do not possess. She is stronger now because her path was more difficult.
Please come back tomorrow for a new “Weed Image of the Day” and let me know which ones you like.
We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
I am inspired by things that grow in the ground and blow in the wind. I like to play in the dirt, especially when planting something, and can talk to trees. I like to look closely at things that at first seem small, insignificant, dried out, or contrary. Weeds may not welcome me with swollen blossoms, but the visual treasure they offer up, are well worth a look. Do you agree? I hope that these images of the oft-overlooked pest of our gardens and yards may give to you some delight, hope, or a new thought to make your daily journey just a little bit more inspired.
