There was a girl who loved a flower...
and when it bloomed,
she threw her arms wide open
and knelt before it.
The girl continued to love,
and to learn.
Until one day, she loved enough
to love a pepper plant.
She threw her arms wide open and knelt before it.
And she shared its fruit with a friend nearby.
And the girl continued to love
and to learn.
Until one day, she loved enough
to love a towering evergreen tree.
She threw her arms wide open and knelt before it.
And she shared it's branches with their pungent scent
Hanging them over her lintel
blessing all who crossed her home's threshold.
Then girl continued to love and to learn.
Until one day, she loved enough
to love a sunrise sky.
She threw her arms wide open, spun in circles and knelt before it.
And her face shone so bright when she lifted it
reflecting those pinks, golds and lavenders
That all who saw her were blessed.
The Girl continued to love and to learn.
Until one day, she loved enough
to love a universe.
She threw her arms wide open, spun in circles and knelt before it.
And she drew that universe into her very womb
for safe-keeping.
But no one saw her do it.
At the last, there was a Girl who continued to love and to learn.
Until one day, she loved enough
to love the One large enough to roll that universe up like a scroll
and stick it in His pocket.
But few were blessed.
"You can not love something so abstract. So incomprehensible...
her sanity is gone, for she loves an illusion."
But the girl just smiled.
She knew they hadn't seen the way of it...
...that first, she'd loved a flower.
