Monday’s Reflection
IN BOTANY 302, Plant Taxonomy, I fell hopelessly in love. … I fell in love with wildflowers. I still am in love with wildflowers because they draw me near to the heart of God. . . .
I meet God the sustainer in spring’s order, beauty, and complexity. I meet Jesus the teacher when I have opportunity to share the wildflower pilgrimage with another disciple. I meet the Holy Spirit in the comforting rhythms of the season and cycles of the weather. I find metaphors for survival, grace, humility, and community meeting me at every turn.
