Purple Among the Green

Walking, 

searching for the beauty in the everyday.

I spy a clump of purple in the expanse of green.

Short yet tall compared to the sea of green.

And I am hopeful. 

Walking, 

searching for the beauty in the everyday.

I spy a new clump of purple in another expanse of green.

Again, I am hopeful.

Everyday as I continue walking,

searching for the beauty in the everyday,

I spy new clumps of purple among the expanses of green I travel.

The purple clumps whispering

Hope in all things,

Spring is coming,

the season of Lent is here,

Grow your faith,

Grow in unexpected places.
