For your consideration: a simple vision of an elegant species.
Recent readings in meditation have directed me towards the reality of universal interconnectedness. One facet of this is revealed by the contemplation that just as you and I are carbon-based life forms, so too this lily and all of its kindred spirits (Plantae) . . .
Looking more deeply reveals the insight that the same fundamental building blocks of our respective Kingdoms' organisms and creatures are the primary ingredients of the incomprehensibly vast universe.
Perhaps then it is only natural that this particular ambassador of the miracle of sheer existence seems to radiate another profound, and possibly shared joy: wonder at the majesty of life itself.
