Today I have sat with a flower
and was amazed at how
Its petals reach and reach
far out to touch the heavens,
while its feet remained
rooted in the Earth that birthed it.
Let us too,
look up to the stars
and far beyond
but with our toes still deeply
grounded in the Earth that raised us.

but with our toes still deeply
grounded in the Earth that raised us.
