This leaf, and the way the sun shone behind it, caught my attention while I was wandering through my newly-laid garden paths.
It’s such an ordinary, even dirty, borage leaf, yet the light reveals beauty and complexity. It was a perfect metaphor for joy: we ourselves may be the same, but when joy shines through us, we are transformed.
There are quiet lessons like this everywhere in nature, whether hiding in the garden or lurking deep in the wild.
