God's Handwriting




















there was reason to move in the
cold morning air

there was reason to uproot in the
middle of congealing

there was reason to claw at the
dirt stuck in the pot

she held herself until she wiggle free
kindness was the answer because
kindness had been forgotten

come play with me
laugh until we cry
but let us not forget to return to love
softly on the back of my hand

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful,

for beauty is God's handwriting.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

  1. I love this Jenny. A plant has been given feeling and reason and a desire for love and growth as people are. You humanize the smallest parts of nature and make them beautiful, warm and friendly.
    The Emerson quote is glorious.
