Potential and Possibility

The blossoms on the tree in my front yard finally burst open this weekend to reveal their delightfully pinkness.  The buds had been hanging out for nearly a week, just waiting--brimming with both hidden potential and possibility.  Today I simply couldn't resist the gorgeous pink sea billowing about in the spring breeze!  I've posted some of my favorite pictures I took today and with them, several of my favorite quotes!

Then the time came when

the risk it took

To remain tight in a bud

was more painful

Than the risk it took

to blossom.

--Anaisnin--

Where flowers grow, so does Hope.

--Lady Bird Johnson--

I dwell in Possibility.

--Emily Dickinson--

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and have my senses put in order once more.

                                                                                --John Borroughs

Let us be grateful for those who make our souls blossom.

Spring 2008

Just so you know, the flowers pictured above are, in actuality, about the size of dime!
