I cradled a magnolia bloom in the palms of my hands on this Palm Sunday. It gave me cause to pause and think — two important traits that we tend to set aside a tad too often. Looking carefully at it as it basked under the warm sun rays, I could see why it’s called a tulip magnolia. They share similar features and behaviours; the bloom felt fragile and sentimental, yet strong and determined at the same time — a lot like a tulip.
I find that pausing and thinking go a long way in better understanding and appreciating the connection between Nature and humanity, and in developing peaceful, calming ways to enjoy respite away from what can sometimes be the busyness of earthly life.
Happy Passover and Happy Palm Sunday to those who celebrate and recognize these significant reflective days. ☮️ ❤️ 🌹
