The Flowering Ones – Every blossom is an invitation

Just look at the costumes summer is adopting.

August’s Re-Enchantment & Gratitude Day has arrived, and this month we turn toward the Flowering Ones.

Every blossom is an invitation.

Not merely to admire beauty, but to enter more deeply into relationship with the blooming world. Every blossom we admire is already in conversation with bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, wind, rain, fungi, and futures not yet born.

Delegates from the Commonwealth of Small Miracles are convening for their annual convergence to discuss impossible colors, pollinator hospitality, and other urgent matters. I dropped in for a bit to see what they were up to.

Inside you’ll find a blessing for the blooms, playful invitations for meeting flowers with fresh eyes, and a handful of reflection prompts for remembering ourselves back into the great flowering.

May the blossoms near you slow your pace, awaken all your senses, and remind you that bold beauty has always been one of Earth’s oldest conversations.

May this be a small invitation of enchantment and a small offering of gratitude to the blossoms around us.
