Sunday Morning Glory Blogging

No birds today, just morning glories. This flowering vine produces blooms that open each morning and close when the sun gets hot. Each flower lasts only part of one day and then shrivels and falls off the vine.

Thankfully, more blooms are produced each day to replace those that have come and gone so quickly. I like to contemplate morning glories. I think they demonstrate the dearness and fleeting nature of life.

Although human lives are much longer than those of morning glories, they are nothing but a short blip in a very ancient yet still expanding timeline in geologic or universal terms. The trick is to live fully and vibrantly in the time we have, whatever time actually is. Morning glories show the way.
