Flowers

    Flowers are a reminder of spring’s eternal hope and life’s unconditional beauty. Even in the most unlikely places – in parched deserts and frozen tundra, on skyscraper roofs and ghetto streets, in muddy swamps and refuse dumps, clinging to cliff ledges and squeezing through pavement cracks – flowers bloom. They show us that there is no condition too harsh or too difficult, no circumstance too dire or too oppressive, that a glimmer of light cannot reach and a splash of colour cannot redeem. When our world is dark and grey, flowers bring the sun and the rainbow. And when our world is bright and iridescent, flowers echo with smiles and laughter.
