Perception

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago 1 min read

So who decides what is a weed and what is a flower?

And should we accept that a flower is a weed just because someone says that it is?

A little flower that attracts pollinators, a "weed" that contributes to our world, should be considered a flower.

I identify with you, little weed because I'm you. And I see you, I think you're beautiful and you can stay and continue to sing to Creation.

Bless your little hearts.
