The handiwork of God snuggled securely in a little seed. It grows. Roots. Shoots. Reaches. Slowly, interceptibly becoming. Stronger. Taller. Ready to produce. And then tiny buds emerge. Linger. Lengthen. Begin to bloom in edged, intricate detail. Tiny flower + tiny flower + tiny flower coming together in one glorious hydrangea display. […]
