Every Flower will Bloom

A flower must bloom, even if it blooms once in a lifetime in the desert, even if it blooms in the morning and has withered by noon. The world is full of flowers: some are in full bloom, some are still hidden beneath the surface, some are just now going out in a blaze of glory on a windy day. If a flower never blooms in this world, then there must be other worlds that will witness its blooming glory one day. One day, one by one, they will indeed bloom. All of the countless lovers of the Beloved will surely bloom one day, finally mesmerized and blown open by the unstoppable love of God.

God is not an old man with a beard, though he may have taken up that disguise one day to get a point across, or to cause someone to laugh at the paradox of it all. God is love, God is beauty, God is grace. One special day, God inspires to bloom every one of his countless flowers, whose winds of karma, extinction of desire and exhaustion of free will mistakes have run their course.

So rise up young flower of destiny. Grasp the special qualities and gifts that only you have been seeded by your Creator. Look around you. The world is in dire need of color. Your color may complete the special rainbow that is destined for today alone. Your color may complete the rainbow that gives hope to someone in a hopeless situation. Your song may give symphony to someone who has heard no words of joy today. Your love may reflect the Creator in a unique way that someone needs to receive.

We are all flowers in the field of Life: wildflowers, fragrant flowers, flowers reaching up to the sun with confidence. We come and we go, and then another one blooms, and then another. Some bloom quickly, streaking through the sky like a comet. Some bloom gradually, and fade away in a graceful and memorable exit. There is no need to worry or fear. We will all bloom someday, somewhere within the Realm of our Creator. Every single one of us.
