These strings of flowers decorate the garden, while we use the same flowers to decorate other spaces such as our homes!
The flowers live for a short time and during that time, they serve their purpose fully! The flowers awaken within us a creative instinct of prose and poetry, through the magnificence they produce in the beholder's eyes.
These flowers in full bloom in the summer heat illustrates another dimension of life itself. The flowers bloom even in summer and not just in spring alone!
The adversities of circumstances bring certain fullness and maturity to human character!
A senior retired professor told me recently how his early onset of cardiac illness took away all the prospects for him to operate anymore, but that prompted him to be a mentor for many trainees in cardiac surgery who went on to become eminent surgeons and pioneers.
Each of us can add some colour to the lives of others! Flowers are for others. Our calling is to live mindful of others!
