Sacred Goddess, Mother Earth,
Thou from whose immortal bosom
Gods and men and beasts have birth,
Leaf and blade, and bud and blossom,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
If with mists of evening dew
Thou dost nourish these young flowers
Till they grow in scent and hue
Fairest children of the Hours,
Breathe thine influence most divine
On thine own child, Proserpine.
>> Percy Bysshe Shelley <<

Now, don't you think that a beauty like this deserves center stage? Well, I do. Such is the way with flowers, not so much with people. I find that when one person has center stage all of the time that it can cause problems. It often provokes envy in others or feelings of inferiority, and even arrogance in the person who is the center of attention. Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts on this beautiful morning. I wish everyone a happy day! :)

Mount St. Sepulchre Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, N.E. Washington D.C.
This Neo-Byzantine place completed in 1899 has replicas of various shrines of the "Holy Land", plus a beautiful garden with a sea of irises this time of the year.
The irises have just started blooming in my yard and I am thrilled to see the colors. Freezing the flower changed and darkened the petals a bit and the petals did not hold up as I had hoped they would. Every day I have to shift my expectations to the outcomes I was able to achieve. Tomorrow we begin again.
