HEAVEN BELOW

 

HEAVEN BELOW - Naturalist Henry David Thoreau reminded us that heaven is below as well as above our heads.  Sometimes we may get distracted and fail to see heaven, or the Sacred or Divine, right under our feet or right "under our noses," as the saying goes.  I spied this bit of Longspur Violet "heaven" a couple of weeks ago while taking a short nature walk on a rainy day.  Since it was raining, I almost didn't go.  But I'm so glad I did, as I saw and photographed four different native wildflowers that rainy morning.  May we have eyes to see heaven right under our feet.
