Hyacinths in Winter

Friends of our family generously gifted our family Hyacinths a couple of weeks ago. We are dead set in the middle of winter in Michigan, although the Hyacinths were a clear reminder of hope, beauty and persistance. They are a deep reminder that under the snow, under the dirt, under the hurt, sadness, anger, smiles is a core of concentrated energy that if nutured can bloom into the intense smell and beauty of Hyacinths. The core is there, feed it, nuture it and give it the support it deserves, be persistent because things will pull us off track, no need to get mad or angry, notice the diversion and remember life and give it a little water and love. Who know what can awesome beauty is possible!
