A Flower A Flame A Time to Reflect

I was searching through old photos and came across this image from a few years ago.  I had forgotten about it, thought it was a "mistake", but didn't delete it.  That in itself sums up how I'm feeling about this year so far.  It seems like one big mistake, but we mustn't delete it.  You know they say, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."  Well I would say, in spite of all these "trials by fire", we must all be getting pretty strong by now.

The photo is an extreme close up of a flower.  Not sure if it was a hibiscus or something else.  But it clearly evokes thoughts of a flame burning.  And it seems like the world is on fire; not unlike when the Holy Spirit was described to descend into the early Christians establishing the early church.  (My Biblical knowledge is sketchy to say the least, but I think you get the point).   

Anyway, this image is one I am meditating on for now.  Perhaps some peace will come of it.  But for now, I am ready for this year to be "reborn".  If not of the Spirit, then of our souls.  Amen.

For those who may wonder about Pentacost of the birth of the Christian church, here a link to start you off:  Pentacost

This image reminds me that our passion to do the right things in life is so important and urgent today. To speak up, to express ourselves, to vote for those who stand up for ALL of our neighbors is the only way to have justice for all. Passion , like fire , can result in wonderful results or destruction. I want to see freedom and justice for all and those who have inflicted terror on innocent people (police etc) need to be punished for crimes against African Americans and other oppressed groups.
