LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

 

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS - I have been watching for some days for our Bloodroot, a native spring wildflower, to bloom.  I was delighted to see that it made its appearance a couple of days ago.  I always look forward to the Bloodroot's appearance, and I love the contrast of its lily-white petals against the dark earth background.  Paraphrasing some verses from the New Testament, we, likewise, should strive to be light in a dark world by fostering hope, furthering understanding, and demonstrating kindness and compassion.
