The One flower gets noticed. The flower cluster of many flowers in the last photo is in contrast to all the flowers in between the one flower and the many.
The flowers in this sequence of photos by nature have a pattern! Their variable presence caught my attention.
The flowers have different colours, sizes, design of petals or morphology!
This variety makes a garden diverse, giving every plant a place to blossom!
I feel spoken to by the uniqueness by each of these flowers.
Having spent about forty five years associating with child development discipline, what brought to my awareness was the variable nature of each home, where the parenting practices and opportunities for child development vary considerably.
Most children receive their formative ingredients from their homes. How much are we focussing on making home a garden of life for children!
The news of breakdown of a stable home environment for children is causing a concern.
While having conversation with parents on the parenting practices, for the last two years on an on line platform, I feel disturbed by the compulsions of parents because of which the parenting focus has got marginalised!
Each child shall blossom proportionate to the caring ambience in which he or she grows up.
The dream for our children to be well placed in life professionally is a legitimate aspiration. I wish that the longing to see them as adults with sound character and noble behaviour would be an equally inviting aspiration of parents!
Our children shall become what we foster them to be!
