Peace Lily



There is something so very beautiful yet simple about a Peace Lily.  It has beautiful blooms on strong stems.  It seems to have dignity.  It is a plant with a strong constitution.  How else could it survive in my house or any house for that matter when one forgets to water it?  But, it does.  It reminds me when its leaves fall limp, and they spring up again when fed just to say, "Thank you?"  It is so forgiving.  If real peace could be this simple.


~~~~~~

Peace Lily my friend
Offering so much beauty
Sadly less returned

 What the remedy
I will show the tenderness
She truly deserves

 ~~^j^~~
Thanks be to God!!

    Might it be called giving without expecting anything in return?

    Beautiful peace lily and haiku, Cathy! I had a peace lily when I lived in NY and had to give it to a friend when I moved. I should buy another plant as I liked it very much!

    Beautiful haiku and flower photo Cathy. I think peace would be that simple, if we would really see ourselves reflected in one another and nourished each other with compassion, food, water, respect, love… why is that so difficult?

    We have a couple of peace lily plants here --one potted and the other one in just water. I love how easy they are to care for and what's more, I've read that they're actually one of those plants that absorb toxins (don't remember which ones specifically) from the air and help keep our air fresher; hence, they are great plants to have around the house.
