New beginnings
This morning we woke to a still and glassy bayou and a plastic water bottle filled with exotic yellow flowers. Each branch held a cluster of closed buds with a gauzy skin that covered them and when they opened each yellow flower unfurled in a curly small happy face.
Yellow flowers indicate many things – modesty, new beginnings – and yet they also mean here, mystery.
Who left the yellow flowers on the porch, with their delicate skins that burst open into a happy little yellow flowers?
The answer is it doesn’t matter – what matters is you live in a place where you can wake up and find a make shift vase of exotic yellow flowers on your porch.
