Hello! I’m new to the group and thought I could say hi with this picture. Some wind knocked down this sunflower and my hubby went out to clip it off. He came back in and told me that there was still enough connection to the root that it could live, so we left it. Yesterday I counted nine blooms on it!

The moral of the story for me is first of all to have Grace, allowing even the possibility of a thing to thrive. Secondly, I think it’s good for us to remember that while we may look different, grow differently, and perhaps even go unseen from the road, we are a critical part of the ecosystem. The birds will still find the seeds on the flower heads, I still sit at the picnic table each night and enjoy the colors, the flower still has a purpose and is living.
