Beautiful lily, fragrance divine, fuschia and white, glorious to see. You spread your petals, and your beauty unfolds a majestic sight. Will God's wonders never cease? This simple beauty, and yet.... We make life so complicated. I remember when my heart was full of pain, and my head, a complicated miasma of thoughts, that I mistook as deep and mysterious. Now I find the deeper I dwell in Your Love, my mind and heart are as a childs. Clear and simple, uncomplicated. Able to bask in each moment of Grace, see clearly each precious gift, and know the joy of Love Divine. Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

You have expressed here the secret of contentment. The simple beauties are those which give us the most pleasure, as long as we recognize them and take the time to appreciate them, and that is what your lily is all about. Very beautiful, Ellie Liz |

Awesome Ellie! Uncomplicated and seeing clearly, and able to bask in it. You've really defined things here. Almost a before knowing Him, and after knowing Him. It really speaks!  |

Ellie, I constantly marvel at your perceptiveness and you ability to bring out the profound from the simple things in life in such majestic poetic beauty. (In other words- you've written another winner here!) Keep 'em coming- we are all blessed by such! David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |
