Messengers from the Mystery
balloon flowers - one opened, one as yet unopened
Love is the way
messengers from the mystery
tell us things.
Love is the mother,
We are her children.
She shines inside us,
visible-invisible as we trust
or lose trust,
or feel it start to grow again.

Such a beautiful photograph! I didn't know until today that such a thing as a balloon flower existed. Love the look of the little bud. Its lips (only just) sealed around a plump purple secret!
Such a treat to find your blog...you have such a gift.

My view of the flower was a closed mouth unable to speak(just a matter of prospective)...I reacted to the words however with much hope.
