Hospitable Heart
“We welcome love into our lives
when we come to trust
that the doors of our
hearts are best
left wide
open.”
~
Robyn Lee
Because of its open heart-shaped spathe and tropical look, the Anthurium flower is considered worldwide to be the symbol of hospitality. This shy yet seductive plant says : ‘Come on in, you’re welcome here.’

Remedy: Passion-Flower
heart crawls…
from behind encaging ribs
washed by rain
scorched by light
…all just to be cleansed
of its aching pain..
to be soothed with
the kisses of your words
…to emerge from its hollow night…
blossoming into….
your
intricate, powerful
divinely delicate and trembling
passion-flower…

Warm Thanks to Lady Day of Just A Girl With A Heart & A Pen for permitting me to pair her wonderful and impassioned poem entitled, Passion-Flower with my feature image today. I was awed by her words when she posted it, and then set out on a mission to find this enchanting passiflora to photograph for this special post.
Hope you enjoyed!
Much Love,
Robyn Lee
