Spring flowers in the snow
Whenever I see daffodils, daisies or buttercups or any other spring flowers starting to sprout through snow, I feel intense joy inside. It reminds me of a dream I had years ago where I was walking along a path covered in thick snow and suddenly I saw a beautiful daffodil shining its golden petals across the otherwise endless sea of white. Emotions are so much more intense in dreams and I started to cry as I realised that life does not die, it renews itself over and over no matter how harsh or barren the winter.
That beautiful daffodil, and many other flowers, reminds me to always have faith in the intelligence of life that is working in ways we cannot see while in the depths of our own personal winter.
