On this Easter morning, I am praying for my Mother's "resurrection of the soul" today. I love Picasso's "Dove with Flowers" and the symbolism of the Dove being a "messenger of God carrying the soul to heaven," as well as a symbol of peace. Anchor/Ships -- Hope or Seafarin
My Mother loved flowers and always had a beautiful garden at every home they lived. She inspired all of us with her desire to live among beautiful flowers and plants. She even had an extensive collection of perennial grasses at her home in Gearheart, Oregon. The beauty of her gardens will live on in our memories as we continue our gardening here on earth. I am thankful for all that my Mother taught us about gardening. I can imagine her helping God organize the gardens in heaven.

What a beautiful post...Also, happy Easter, Pati.
I love this. It's clear that your mother's love of garden has been passed on to you, and the image of her helping arrange the heavenly gardens is just beautiful.

Your mother left you with many gifts. Just like a mom!
Hi Pati,
This is a link to a dr.Jill Taylor who so succinctly brings together the "big picture" of life force, the meaning of life and the potential in all of us for universal peace.

I'm sure your mum is in a most wondrous place.
Such a powerful image... organizing the flowers in heaven.
I hope you had time to reflect on the many wonderful years you had with your mother yesterday.
Happy (belated) Easter Pati!
