The delicate balance of plant life


Trilliums. . . I had never seen this plant until this Spring in Tennessee.   The symmetry of threes: three leaves, three sepals, and three petals—hence, the common name “trinity flower.”   I love the inspiration that we can receive from plants and finding all of these trilliums in my backyard was such a blessing from God.  The delicate balance that this plant needs to survive and grow in woodlands. . . reminds me of the delicate balance in our own lives.  Just like the trillium we need to be nourished daily with the air we breathe, the water from the earth. . . but even more the words that we speak and that are spoken over us are so important to find balance in daily living.  
The spirit, the body and the mind. . . trinity.

May God bless you richly today, Terri
