The tiny (in)significant beauty of flowers

The tiny (in)significant beauty of flowers

By sleepyjey | Lens2Eye | 26 Sep 2021


Have you ever looked at your life from afar and thought that it was insignificant. Sometimes if you zoom in and look at every little thing you do, you will realise how much you actually do and how much beauty there is in your life. 

This is the philosophy I realised as I noticed tiny flowers that were blooming on plants that were growing around the wire fence. 

Look from afar and it looks messy and a little unkempt. The green is nice though and you know there is more than you think.

Walk in a few steps and you can see specks of color. Things start looking more refreshing and there is a buzz of excitement (and the occasional bee) that is starting to take shape.

And this is what is in store for us as you look closer. On this section of the fence I could make out at least 3 different flowers that were amazing.

The white flowers may have been the most plain, not no! They were not. This flower had a couple of missing petals, but still looked so delicately beautiful. The bright yellow centre with a touch of brown highlighted the beauty all around! A great mix of pleasing colors that calms the soul.

The yellow flowers looked standard. But look closer and deep inside there was more yellow that astounds you with how much can be done with a single color. It stood proudly as its neighbouring stems held buds that would bloom the next day in the never ending cycle of life and death in the flower world.

The purple flowers were the most interesting. They were shaped different. I also noticed that they had a 'hairy' texture to it and this hairiness extended to the leaves that cradled it too - the never ending task of propogatinf itself to further places and to protect itself had just made it unusually beautiful. 

Look closer at yourself and the things you do. There is more to you than just existence in a fence!
