[3 Minute Read or Listen Below] I was reminded recently about the journey I've been on with my weekly review. Someone asked how many consecutive weeks I've been doing it, but because I'm not particularly motivated by streaks, I had to stop and look it up. It's hard for me to believe what started on Sunday, January 12th, 2020, has reached 300 consecutive weeks this coming Sunday; nearly six years of showing up, week after week, for this quiet yet powerful practice.

It caught my eye as I walked to the movie theater. Nestled where the sidewalk meets the wall of a brick building, there it was - a single flower in full bloom. Its green stem and leaves curved upward with purpose, crowned by vivid petals that seemed to glow against the dark paver brick. No garden soil. No careful watering. No soft bed of mulch. Just a crack between pavement and wall. A couple of hours later, walking home, I passed it again. It still stood, bright, strong, unapologetically itself. I smiled, thinking of the saying, "Bloom where you're planted." But the more I thought about it, the more I realized, this flower wasn't "planted" here in the traditional sense. It found a way to grow in a place no one would have picked for it. |
