During a recent conversation with a dear friend, one of the topics that came up was Flowers VS Weeds. What's the difference and how can we tell? A lot of weeds have flowers. They can be delicate, colorful and attract bees - just like (official) flowers. So, why do we pull some out of our garden, and leave others. It made me think about how we look at things.... and reminds me of the old adage 'one persons trash is another's treasure'. Maybe it's the same with Flowers VS Weeds, and other things that come up in our lives. If we think something in a 'flower', to us, it is.
I choose to see this lovely little plant as a flower. The purple against the white and the dark green is beautiful to me. Someone else might laugh, tell me it's a weed and suggest I pull it out.
Maybe, but ultimately, it's my garden, and I get to choose what is in it.
