Consider the Lilies

This morning I went for a walk in the park with my friend Margaret.  It lifted my spirits.  I felt brown when I met her.  I didn't feel that way when we parted.  Then I took pictures of happy flowers in the garden that fairly shouted at me to lighten up.  As you can see, they weren't brown.  So, in remembrance of this slow, moody, wistful, summer's day, I'm sharing some of the cheer and light that greet me in my own backyard.

Namaste.
