Something Grand

Crepe Myrtle, November 2020


Blessed are those who
know the joy of growing up
under something grand




* Upon reflection, most people wouldn't consider a Crepe Myrtle to be grand - but to a young and small shoot, it is grand...and what it gives is grand - strong roots, protective shade, an innate pattern for growth, connection to a larger world of birds and squirrels. What does it mean to grow up under something grand? Maybe a person - or a place - or a certain time or culture. I hope you will take a moment to ponder a person/place/time/culture that has shaped and encouraged you - and offer thanks.
