Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven……

“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”

I read the above statement over many times, and asked myself “Are there really ?”  Yesterday I was sitting in a row of seats at the Cancer Center-waiting for blood work results. I have Multiple Myeloma of the bone.  All the seats were taken by patients, except one next to me, waiting to see their doctor regarding their disease.  In walked a young lady dressed in a yellow outfit that sparkled with life, I thought.  She sat next to me, and as usual a conversation starts with “What kind of cancer do you have”.  She looked at me with sorrowful eyes and said “I have never been sick until I was diagnosed with cancer last year.  Cancer of the uterus.  I have had seven operations thus far, and I am here to see my doctor to find out if I need another.  She crossed herself with the sign of the cross, and said “I might not have to”.  I thought “Yes, a flower she has not seen yet”.  I was called for my blood-work results.  I got up from my seat, and took her hand, asked her name, and said you will be in my prayers.  She is on my prayer list.  Yes, I have missed seeing flowers.  I guess I was so focused on my concerns, I never thought to look for the unseen brightness glowing under all of them, a flower unseen.
