Crushed Flower

If you have ever seen Joe vs. the Volcano you may already know the scene that I am talking about. The first time I saw the movie the only scene I remembered was when that foot came crushing down on the beautiful, courageous flower. I was traumatized! For as long as I can remember back into my childhood I have had a deep appreciation for flowers growing auspiciously in harsh conditions.

Yesterday and today I have had glimpses of how this place is like that place where Joe worked. A tiny bit of fear has worked it's way into my excitement as I see the bottom of the foot hovering over me.

Will I be crushed or will I continue to bring a small piece of light in this dark place?
