A Flower’s Purpose

Why do we fascinate over a flower? Is it the fact that we long to see life, or it’s strength to endure through anything? Or to adapt to anything situation? We don’t know. But to me flowers seem to carry a second meaning. Whether it’s the peaceful and calming scent of Lavender. Or the vibrant glow of a Red Rose. Flowers provide a way to see life in a different way.

There was one day on a hike, I came across a field of wildflowers. Many bees hummed around the flowers creating a constant vibration in my ears. You could not only hear the bees humming, but a mass accumulation of living creatures, big and small, making their own sounds, filling the area with it’s own life. A life that no one could harm or even touch. This small field of flowers was a haven, a shelter to so many things. I realized that these flowers were the life and home to so many things. Especially to the bees, these flowers provided the very nectar, and care that they needed to survive.

After the sound I realized the beauty that lied in these flowers. There were yellow, red, orange, white flowers. Colors that brought the field to life. There were flowers that had their own very distinct colors, which didn’t really have a name. But all the the colors were warm and bright, bring comfort to all within sight. My eyes felt like they were being touched by their gentle and delicate pedals. Still holding the little droplets of water from the mornings dew. The sun had just risen, bringing about a bright and fluorescent display of color and shape.

But it wasn’t just the sight, or the sound of these living beauties. It was the smell that truly took my breath away, filling my mind and heart with joy. Igniting me with a vigore to conquer anything in my way. Every time I inhaled to supply my body with the air it needed, I got a little more; A blanket of comfort and peace was brought within be. A once cold and sore nose, from the mornings frost, was finally brought to rest by these kind flowers.

So no, maybe we don’t need flowers in our lives. But we do need what comes with them; Peace, Joy, Hope, and Love. So if a small little Red Rose, on your window sill, can give you the smallest piece of that. Than That Flower, has fulfilled its purpose.
