THE MOMENT OF THE LITTLE YELLOW FLOWER 7 May 2011 Walking through the comforting forest, she picked up a tiny yellow flower, and, gazing deep into its heart, she heard it whisper its secrets to her with trust and quiver-confidence. She listened in awe and admiration - and with quiet respect, she laid it down, slow-carefully, where she had found it, pausing to dream a little before walking on, wiser and older. Owl |

Wisdom and beauty shower us in many different ways. For those who see and listen with the heart, like you, such little miracles happen often. You rendered the moment most beautifully, dear Owl. Love, Margherita |

Listening to a flower there is much that can be heard. I am grateful that there are people like you, dear Owl, that do listen for the many that may not always hear.  |
