I remember reading a book, or an article about someones mother and the letters she had written to her daughter. Anyway, the mom had been through good times and bad, and lived in large and small houses, but throughout her letters she always mentioned what trees were blooming, what seeds were sprouting and how her garden was doing etc... These were the things that brought her happiness. While driving around Miami lately, there is a proliferation of blooming Royal Poinciana trees and it is amazingly beautiful. I have often thought, whether you are living in a trailer park or a multi-million dollar house, if you live near a blooming Royal Poinciana tree in June, you are rich indeed. Unfortunately, the trees, which are blooming wildly now, only do that a couple months a year. Luckily, the riches nature offers us are available every day and in every season. Take a walk around your neighborhood and delight in the riches it offers.
