Wildflowers [...to hearken than the fat of rams.]

"...see how they wake without a question
even though the whole world is burning."
-W.S. Merwin, "Rain Light"


I read another poem, or perhaps it was part of this poem that described so eloquently the shattering of the dew as the water droplets release explodingly as one brushes by a leaf or flower blossom. Quietly the rain or dew, the flowers, they obey their creator without a question.

1 Samuel 15:22 (NIV)

 But Samuel replied:
   “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
   as much as in obeying the LORD?
To obey is better than sacrifice,
   and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
