Heroes Not Zombies

This is one of my most favourite flowers in our garden. It’s a Petunia and it looks like the night sky.

When I look at this I see the stars stretching across the sky above me at night and I think of the old saying, as above, so below, and I think of all the complex, fractal symmetries which exist in our universe.

I pause, I wonder, I am amazed.

One little flower can deepen the joy and awe of an everyday life. It sets my mind soaring up to the heavens, down into the soil of the Earth, flying through the vast web of connections and patterns I live in. It engages me, yet again, with what is greater than me, with The Other, The Divine, with the Life Force.
