Serendipity Love

Serendipity Love

Love is never lost like a snowflake on an LA freeway
Or a teardrop in a sea of sand.

Love pops up like a tomato plant on an offramp
Or daisies in sidewalk cracks.

Have never forgotten the freeway tomato plant, the daisies or the black-eyed susans growing along every road in the western US and even out into the desert! All of these are illustrations of nature as survivor, and beauty queen, for me. Sending you blessings of beauty and serendipity!

Gary Radice Date: 10/2/2021 10:40:00 AM Beautifully written despite this Brit having to look up what an offramp is. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 10/4/2021 9:09:00 AM Thank you so much Gary! Didn't think about international "highway" vocabulary! Opps! Anyway, glad you enjoy this bit of serendipity. And I really did see a full blown tomato plant growing up on a freeway and a daisy plant thriving in a crack on the sidewalk! Amazing miracles of survival. Cheers to you!
