The Lily

 

 The lily may seem a common flower simple to grow, 

and easy to find in almost every garden but few know

how deeply its roots truly reach. The first known snap

shot of their existence dates back as far as 5000 years

ago in Sumeria. It was described in the first written

language human society ever contrived and was loved

by what many consider to be the worlds first civilization.

 It then spread like wild fire, traders & nomads carried

the edible bulbs with them dropping a few which would

paint the world over with what is perhaps one of our

worlds most beautiful and well beloved plants. it 

throughout history has been a symbol of humanity's

better qualities, hope, faith, birth, passion, transition,

cleansing, remembrance etc... It revered by every

culture it touched, and cherished and loved by religion

and culture. And so it shall be loved and cherished 

until perhaps the end of humanity itself. Our story will

be hand in hand with that of a flowers. fleeting in the 

grand scheme but enduring, and beautiful even in tragedy
