Dear Daughters,
This beautiful flower journeyed to my
yard ,
initially as one of several bulbs,
in the hands
of Enedelia,
a humble, and wonderful lady.
There is an odyssey of sorts here.
Her sister in Mexico grows these flowers,
who gave the bulbs to a second sister,
who in turn gave them to Enedelia,
who gave a few bulbs to me.
I don’t know if there is a pleasure more genuine than that.
I hope you always remember that.
There are all sorts of ways of looking at things,
but Enedelia’s generosity
says it clearly.
*Share what you enjoy with someone who enjoys the same thing.
*Share your offering in its humblest form and not in
its store bought form.
You clip the cutting, share the bulbs , bake the bread, or
make the pot of soup.
*Enjoy what happens next.
Love,
Mom
