Blooming or Withering

I received a beautiful orchid in early January with several lovely open blooms.  It also had 5 or 6 tight kernels on the end of the stalk.  It wasn't immediately obvious if these kernels were budding or withered.  Over the course of the month these buds have opened one by one, adding to the glory of this wonderful plant.  Because the orchid has continued to grow, it has brought new visual delight with each new bloom.

Just as with the orchid, it's not always obvious if we are blooming or withering. Continuous learning, insatiable curiosity and varied interactions allow us to grow and change.
