Lilies



Grampa (also known as Grampa the Adventurer) invited our five “big” grandgirls, ages 3 through 7, into the fishing boat to tour the wild shoreline where swans quietly raise their signets amidst thick cattails. Where nature reigns, untouched by man.

At their destination, each one plucked a special blossom from among the lily pads. 

Upon returning home, individual bud vases were grouped as a centerpiece on the picnic table, each holding the special treasure of a little girl enthralled by simple, unique beauty as exceptional as her own.

 





“Be simple, hidden, quiet and small.” – Fr. Thomas Hopko
