Old tree planted by Thomas Jefferson

Life Eternal

The reality is this... All life starts, ends, & is reborn!

To some this concept is clouded, 

To others this concept is flawed, 

But into each new living thing 

There comes a blueprint of 

What was, 

What is, 

And what it will become.

As we pass to dust, 

Even our ashes become new to the earth.

 And these ashes feed the ground 

That will spring another piece of... 

Life Eternal!

Monticello Flowers - The tapestry of history.

Do the flowers embroidered by time remember days gone by?

Perhaps these flowers have sprung from the seeds of the same flowers that watched a Nation grow so many years ago!  

Do they remember the man Thomas Jefferson who watched them grow and recorded their story?  

Do they remember the touch of the slaves who cultivated them and worked his gardens for his pleasure?

As the sun beckons us to walk near them and smell their perfume do we appreciated the darkness that brought them to being. 

The threads of life's tapestry have been captured by time on the fabric of our Nation in places such as this.
