Moments That Make Your Heart Flower

Dancing Elephants Press Prompt 36/52

Cherish the joyful moments in life. Keep them close to your heart.

🌸🌸I have been spending a lot of time in nature and find flowers very inspiring. They are delicate, sometimes they last just for a very short period of time and they are amazingly beautiful. I am thinking of all the things that had to go right for any flower to flourish. The perfect seed or bulb, nurturing soil, enough amount of nutrition and rain, and of course sunshine. I enjoy looking at the flowers, bathing in their scent, and looking at the amazing colors they produce.

What makes your heart flower? 💖💖🌹🌹

🌸🌸People need good nurturing conditions to have a happy flowering heart. Treasured little moments. The seeds in our hearts can grow and flower just at the perfect time. I was thinking about this week's prompt and got this beautiful image of a happy heart that is flowering with joy. There are moments in our lives that we cherish greatly.

🌸🌸I would love to find out that when you close your eyes and think of your heart flowering the most beautiful flower your imagination can give you what story from your life comes to your mind?

🌸🌸Every flower stage has its beauty. Look at this aging tulip below. I find the composition breathtaking.

🌸🌸We have many stories inside us. Some happy, some sad. When I think of a flowering heart I think of an extraordinary story. The story can be simple, unique, weird, a feeling, fantasy an actual story from your past, present, or future in any way you would like to express your story by writing a blog, a song, a poem, or creating pictures or a combination of all of the above.

🌸🌸Let your imagination fly.
