"The world globes itself in a drop of dew."

Xasáuan Today has chosen silver lupine as its wildflower of this week. As usual, XT's photos and account are an education in themselves.

Here are a few more photos to add to that account — from upper Rocky Creek in our recent rains. All the photos are Debi's. Notice how beautiful the abstracted backgrounds to the lupines also are.

And as Emerson writes:

"The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The microscope cannot find the animalcule which is less perfect for being little. Eyes, ears, taste, smell, motion, resistance, appetite, and organs of reproduction that take hold on eternity — all find room to consist in the small creature. So do we put our life into every act. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God reappears with all his parts in every moss and cobweb. The value of the universe contrives to throw itself into every point. If the good is there, so is the evil; if the affinity, so the repulsion; if the force, so the limitation."

And such a globe of dew feels alot like home, doesn't it?
