Balance: Spiritual Thursday

A Short Story of Falling

By Alice Oswald

It is the story of rain falling
to turn into a leaf and fall again

it is the secret of a summer shower
to steal the light and hide it in a flower

    I so love this poem. Stunning in its simplicity. Hidden light, always there ... I am especially moved by the flower being a tiny tributary. How I wish to be a tributary of hope, which comes so naturally to the flower. Just beautiful.
