The BlackBerry Bloom

🌼

BlackBerry blossoms -
Promise for our tomorrows:
Starburst hearts shine through.

Hope for tomorrow: the black berry flower. Lovely and simple white bloom with 5 white petals and star bursting center. In blackberry bloom’s stunning simplicity, I am held mesmerized for a bit. I pause along the path i have been given to walk and appreciate the beauty.
Today I am thinking – these are Our Children – the children not only of America but The World. Simple and unassuming, yet containing an exquisite starburst of light which seeks to fling itself out into Creation sharing their burgeoning consciousness with all in their path.
And today many have been plucked – taken away – before the bloom could morph into the rich fruit which had been the original intention of Our Creator.
I can make no sense of it and so, I cry. Bright and shining meteors of light plucked from the starrie sky when only a hint of their full potential had been expressed.
And while I cry with head lowed in shame, knowing I did not do enough to create safety for the young ones … The Young Ones who survived are stepping forward with the fortitude of strong hearts, carrying focused intention to go the distance. They have been brought to full fruit before their time by the events they have lived through. Their petals have been crushed by the horrors they now carry with them. Yet battered and bruised they stand tall before the people of the world. They stand with arm raised and heart fully exposed and say to us: NO MORE.

AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.”

January 26 2018 AGES and CHANGE

Pressed together-
A million years in making.
Fissure - and now - bloom.

My mountain home has abundant sedimentary shale rock, formed by massive pressure over millennia…. And even these grandfather stones that formed over millennia at some point becomes cracked and starts to break down. With the cracking of the stone I photographed, it is now possible to be home to a tenacious little plant who clings to the rock’s side, and then the plant sends her roots into a fissure in the stone establishing a sure foothold. The stone is beginning to break apart and die or maybe something else is really happening.

Considering the microcosm via Quantum Physics … scientists tell us that in observing quantum movement occurring in electrons traveling between the atomic layers of a material. Instead of travelling from the top to the bottom layer through the middle, the electrons were caught disappearing (dying?) from the top layer and reappearing (birthing?) in the bottom a fraction of a second later - with no trace of them existing in between.

... considering

microcosm being a reflection of the macrocosm ....

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”    ― Albert Einstein
