Such a lovely thought Susan "the music they hear." I had never thought of it that way before. Surely they dance to a beautiful melody.

I like this happy thought! It seems that all God's creation seems to move in sync with heavenly music - and with each season a new melody begins!

I saw you comment on Elks blog and though I would pop by and visit yours. I was just now watching flowers dance on the TV. Interesting thought .. what music do they hear.

Laura said...

I wonder too, Susan. :) This morning in my scripture reading I finished up the Psalms. Those final Psalms talk about "everything that has breath praise the Lord". That has always fascinated me. Sometimes my imagination runs wild and I think about what the "soul-less" creatures and the other parts of nature know about God that I don't know.

It's very humbling.

As beautiful as the flowers are, He cares about us more. Beautiful post, Susan.

I like the image of dancing flowers in my head :) Between the buzzing bees and chirping birds and wind rustling the grass... perhaps its a song we would all dance to...

I think tulips listen to Beethoven. Daisies listen to Mozart. Roses listen to Brahms.

Splendid photos, Susan! I, too, am sure flowers hears a special music... there is such music in the presence of flowers! Happy Week, my friend :o) ((HUGS))

Susan, you are an artist, a poet, an encourager, and one that keeps pointing us to the source of that dance.

Thank you!
