consider the lavender


It is blooming everywhere here. French lavender, Spanish lavender, English lavender.. is there a native California lavender? It is such a sweet and, can I say, sharp and sturdy plant. These are blooms from an old plant in our front yard. It has not been tended, pruned or given a nod since we've lived here the six years. But, it still blooms. It does what lavender does. A priest said to us recently, " we must live our lives and our vocations more intensely". What does that look like? To be who we are, to keep blooming, to continue on the path for which we were born.
What does that look like?
