From the other end of the garden I suddenly noticed this flower shining in a sunbeam which had made its way through the trees. I was drawn towards it pulled by the force of its beauty and took this photo.
It’s an allium and this flower head is typical of this family. Just look at it! Isn’t it astonishing. It really looks like one of those fireworks which bursts open high in the night sky. Or like a starburst as a distant sun explodes.
It simply exudes Life – you can feel the energy surging through it. It’s glorious. I love how Nature surges forward in such abundance. There’s nothing mean, or constrained, about this. It’s a “hallelujah!” It’s a “it’s good to be alive!”
Plants live such different lives from we humans but I can’t help but be touched by these astonishing displays of beauty, uniqueness and creativity.
This is what the Life Force looks like. This is what “the Vital Force” feels like.
