Sunflowers

Isn’t it odd

How a field of sunflowers can all bloom at the same time,

Perfectly in sync with each other?

Perfect harmony.

Perfect unity.

Growing towards the sun

Reaching for the sky

Maybe at different heights

But still

Together.

We should be more like sunflowers.

-J.E.H.

Where Love Lives

I imagine

That there is a place

Where love takes hold

Of even the darkest of spaces.

Where peace gently roots itself

Among chaos

And confusion.

Where kindness

Softens the ground

That hasn’t seen rain in months.

Where gentleness

Calms the storm

And always says “come home,”

Where life flows

Through the roughest

Of waters.

I imagine

That this place

Would be most powerful

If it found its home

In me.
