Blossom and Bloom Reviews
I love this idea of nature being dead and resurrected through Spring- it truly is the cycle of growth in us as well and the way you portrayed it was vivid. I do believe nature knows truths about life that we simply don't. Thanks for sharing my appreciation with nature in this piece.
I especially like the third stanza. Growth is so painful yet so important. What we do matters and our suffering is not in vain. Again, all of this is literally the story of the Gospel so that what it reminds me of- we were dead in our sins until Jesus allowed for us to be born again through His spirit. Ephesians 2:1-10 is all about this concept. Rebirth is painful and the fruits of it are love. I also appreciate the title and repetition of Blossom and Bloom. I didn't know the difference of these two concepts until I looked them up, and it's very fitting for the purpose of this piece, so I like that detail too.
Strange random question but, do you believe you are connected with and knowing of your faith more so as being with nature or with books filled with scripture and literature?
