Those azaleas are receding today: the ones that sheared my winter wool. But I realized with some satisfaction in the morning's bright blue sky that they hadn't lost their faith in us. Not in the least.
They are the world's wedding party, bedecked in their best beauty to wish us on our happy way, who, after packing up our gifts into the shaving-creamed car, will withdraw for some time into the background, not standing too much out, and smile to see our happiness in full summer swell.
But I think that we can trust them to return again to brighten up our winter gloom, when the time is right.

I have been thinking about the azaleas and other spring flowers falling away also. We can learn so much from them. I have learned that even though it is a bit sad that their outer beauty may be fading, just as our happiness sometimes wanes, they give way to the more productive, life-sustaining and growth-giving (?) leaves. So perhaps we can grow more when we aren't at our happiest times. And maybe then we can focus on beauty that surrounds us, such as the beautiful weather.
