I saw this flower blooming in a crack outside Loretto High School today. It made me think of the saying, “Bloom where you’re planted.”
There’s something fitting about finding it at a school. A school is full of young people still growing, figuring things out, and trying to find their way. Life doesn’t always give us easy ground, but that doesn’t mean nothing good can grow there.
Sometimes a little beauty shows up in a hard place and reminds us that it doesn’t get the final say.
