Flower in the Forest

Posted in Flower in the Forest at 2:44 am by Administrator

Last month I was on a pack trip in the high Sierra Mountains in an area that had been burned over a couple of years ago in a forest fire. As me and my oldest son hiked through the area it resembled a war zone, yet in the middle of the devastation grew a beautiful red flower.

I was struck by the thought that amid turmoil and despair, there is always hope and beauty. It was also a reminder that as individuals, we can be agents of hope and beauty when others around us only see what is wrong in the world. My encouragement to you is to be the person today that brightens the day of a fellow worker, neighbor, family member or stranger. The world will be a better place because you did.
