Lilies of the field —
what the world calls
doing nothing

This certainly continues to resonate with me.
Of course behind the scenes 'Nature' is always very busy, but it seems so effortless to humans who attempt to emulate, but fall so short.

Thankfully some of us are happy to witness simplicity in the raw.

A moment in life when the world seems to come to standstill.

Ah, from the mists of memory I'm certain I studied this parable in an RE lesson many years ago.
I've just Googled it: Matthew 6:28 'Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.'
Sometimes it's enough just to watch the flowers grow, isn't it.
Very effective, Sylvia.
