The floral
displays I have walked past in downtown Clayton have been a source of
inspiration and comfort. Bursts of color and unique pairings have
been a welcome sight for this weary soul. I took a lot of photos to
help build a portfolio of ideas I might want to incorporate in my own
lawn.
As I passed
the Clayton Town Hall and its magnificent display of plant life a
metaphor came to mind. What makes this garden so lovely is its
variety. Each blossom on its own is a marvel, but if the garden was
full of only one type of plant or flower, its beauty would not be so
captivating. Lovely yes, but not so breathtaking.
Our
diversity—the things that set us apart—really is what makes
humanity beautiful. I'm sad when people can't see it, but encouraged
when we do.
Yes! If only more people appreciated and celebrated the diversity instead of wanting everyone to look/act/think/be the same!
