“I am in awe of flowers. Not because of their colors, but because even though they have dirt in their roots, they still grow. They still bloom.” – D. Antoinette Foy*
Everywhere in the world, our hearts are lifted by blossoms. Here are a few lifting mine, in Balestrate, Sicily, during Covid-19.



















*I have absolutely no idea who D. Antoinette Foy is, or was. Found a Facebook page that is not active. Otherwise only pages and pages and pages of quotes attributed to this name. And maybe that, too, is symbolic. Just a person, like the rest of us, articulating what the rest of us are feeling. Gratitude to her, whomever she may be!
