Heard a nice quote this morning:
'A flower doesn't compete with the flower next to it, it just blooms'.

Hi JT, I hope you are well. We haven't spoken before, but I was drawn to your post.
Directing people's attention towards flowers was one of the analogies the historical buddha is said to have used to point to the end of suffering (or enlightenment). I'm guessing that's why you'll often find paintings and sculptures of him seated on a lotus flower or holding one in his hand.
Similarly, you'll find many references to flowers in the Bible. (I'm not familiar with many religious or sacred texts, but I usually remember fragments from them that resonate with me).
Luke 12:27 “Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin."
