It was a hard year that year, the chemicals I was taking to knock out a blood virus made me feel like I had the flu – aches, low energy, sadness, inability to think straight – for a year! My sister brought me this tiny violet – it brightened the kitchen window sill and when the evening light caught it, the petals were iridescent. Small beauty loomed large in my altered state and it was a source of healing, reminding me every day that loving thoughts and prayers were being directed my way. I sometimes balk at giving a token gift to someone who is struggling, worrying about whether it will be the right thing and so forth, but after this experience I encourage myself and anyone reading this – yes! Do it!!
