Be Kissed by Raindrops

“Let the rain kiss you.

Let the rain beat upon your head

with silver liquid drops.

Let the rain sing you

a lullaby.”

~ Langston Hughes

The Beauty of a Peony

“I want to encourage women

to embrace their own

uniqueness. Because just like

a rose is beautiful, so is a

sunflower, so is a peony. I

mean, all flowers are beautiful

in their own way, and that’s

like women, too.”

~ Miranda Kerr

My Garden of Prayer

“My garden beautifies my yard
and adds fragrance to the air…

But it is also my cathedral

and my quiet place of prayer…

So little do we realize

that ‘the glory and the power’

Of He who made the universe

lies hidden in a flower.”

~ Helen Steiner Rice
