I saw something beautiful today, and thought I'd share:
“Look Up”
“How do you do it?” asked the rabbit.
“Do what?” replied the sunflower.
“Stand tall and strong after all you have faced.”
“I don’t know what you mean!” the flower exclaimed. “Will you explain?”
“Well, you’ve endured the birds pecking at your seeds and being trampled on when you were small. You’ve fought off all sorts of things that would ravage your leaves and faced the harshest
of storms. Yet, here you are, tall and strong and beautiful. I do admire you. What’s your secret?”
“Ah, now that I do understand! Just turn your face towards the light that shines hope and love, then you can face anything life throws at you.”
“How often must I do this?” enquired the rabbit.
“Every single day,” the flower replied, and lifted his head towards the sun.
