Community

Long day -- tired tonight.

This image is of a dogwood tree at Spring Heights. I like it because it is SO MANY flowers. There is beauty in a single flower -- it is unique and perfect. This image reminds me, though, that there is beauty in many flowers, seen together.

Each of us is a child of God, beautiful and unique, claimed and beloved of God. There is a loveliness to community, too, though. Together, we create something which none of us can be on our own. We create community. And it is beautiful.
