❤️❤️❤️ • Lessons From Wildflowers
If you ever happen to see a field of wildflowers containing more than one more species, there’s a reason for that…
In the book “Eight Master Lessons from Nature,” author Gary Ferguson writes about how each wildflower has its own strength and together, they create diversity in the landscape. Some have deeper roots to help them survive during the drought and others have waxy leaves to contain moisture.
Every flower has different survival strategies and as a result, they are able to keep the ecosystem going, surviving through harsh conditions to give the other flowers time to recover.
In this book, Ferguson goes on to quote Maya Angelou, who advised parents to teach their children, “that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”
We cannot survive without each other and the diversity of our strengths. We learn from the wildflowers that we belong to each other and our strengths support one another.
As Gwendolyn Brooks wrote in her poem for singer and activist Paul Robeson, “We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.”
Who are we without each other? What is the landscape without diversity?
May the wide range
of wildflowers
in this meadow
remind you of what
your soul
already knows:
we are strong
in different ways
and that is what
helps us all grow.
Together, we will grow.
Together, we will grow.
may the wildflowers teach us:
together, we will grow.
Our beauty is in our wholeness.
Our aliveness is in our togetherness.
