What a great metaphor for life, what looks dead might just be waiting for the right time to offer its gifts.

apoetreflects:

“This life is too much trouble, far too strange, to arrive at the end of it and then to be asked what you make of it and have to answer, ‘Scientific humanism.”  That won’t do.  A poor show.  Life is a mystery, love is a delight.  Therefore I take it as axiomatic that one should settle for nothing less than the infinite mystery and the infinite delight, i.e. God.  In fact, I demand it. I refuse to settle for anything less.”

—Walker Percy, from Questions They Never Asked Me (Lord John Press, 1979)

I will continue to pray for wisdom and for the words out of my mouth to be uplifting. My students are really acting out, but I know underneath their tangled mess is a beautiful spirit waiting to be recognized. My job is to continue to trim the “weeds” in their life in order for them to fully bloom.
