Strength

Stripped down to the base essentials, the weed flower is fierce in her dignity as she bravely stares down the other, more brightly colored blooms. She’s proud of her form. It exposes her best quality, which is strength – as opposed to fluff. The sun warms her just as deeply as it does the others, but instead of preening and posing, she is free to close her eyes and soak up the rays, no longer concerned with looking pretty. By giving up pretense this weed flower becomes all the more striking. She becomes like a star, true to her form. Isn’t it funny how life can trick us into revealing our true selves when we are stretched thin or stripped bare?

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. We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
