“Why are the desert blooms that spring to life after a monsoon so magnificent? The answer is – their impermanence. The lush growth and blooming flowers do not last very long here in the desert, and this new growth only happens once a year. If this growth was never-ending, we would soon take it for granted. Likewise, our human lives. What makes them so special and unique? Our fleeting impermanence.” LifeInspirationalWisdomSpiritualGrowthConsciousnessPsychologyHumanValueAppreciationInner PeaceZenDesertImpermanenceNew GrowthMonsoonDesert BloomsDesert BeautyLife Life Lessons Book:Living Peace: Essential Teachings For Enriching Life Source: Living Peace: Essential Teachings For Enriching Life
“Joseph would reach out to me occasionally, the same way the desert blooms a flower every now and then. You get so used to the subtleties of beige and brown, and then a sunshine-yellow poppy bursts from the arm of a prickly pear. How I loved those flower moments, like when he pointed out the moon and Jupiter, but they were rare, and never to be expected.” SiblingsColorsDesert BloomsJoseph EdelsteinRare Mom Book:The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake Source: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
