Even the Smallest

The Woodland Orchids that dot our property are mere inches tall.  These tiny flowers blanket the lawn in a delicate show of white. Look closely and see the detailed veins.
These flowers are tough.  Surviving the trampling of careless human and animal footfalls, below freezing night temperatures and the over-saturated spring soil, they greet the day and bring amazement and joy.

If a tiny plant like this can go on every day despite adversity, surely we can also survive the little mishaps that crop up along our journey.
