Hope is learnt from what was experienced, endured and then written about in the Scriptures. These are our teachers giving us encouragement. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. Put your hope in His unfailing love.
Romans15:4 2Timothy 3:16 Psalm 147:11
Chosen for what they have in common.
White on green in various patterns.
All unique.
The leaf has a covering that is rough, hairy and fuzzy.
There is an expression to
“air one’s lungs”.
It means to use profane language.
Then there are some interesting sayings:
“Those trees are your lungs. The earth recycles as your body. The rivers recycle as your circulation. The air is your breath. So what do we call the environment?”
Chopra Deepak
“What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life.”
Emil Brunner Swiss theologian.
Of course Italian Arum caught my eye first.
Here are two more names:
Cain and Abel,
Lords and ladies.
Dad once brought home xrays of the lungs to show us as children.
I think this leaf looks more like those xrays than the plant named pulmonaria.
It is so smooth as the other is hairy and even has light patches like the xray where Dad pointed our that smoking had caused a patchy problem.
“Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
“Trust is as necessary to a happy, healthy relationship as air is to lungs. With it a relationship can survive almost anything. Without it almost nothing.”

Its heart shaped leaves and fine roots.
came out with a clump.
It is spring like today with soil soft and the sun out.
The robbin was looking for
worms as I worked.
It ‘s just a little fact but our left lung is smaller than our right lung to make room for our heart.
I will soon put them back in the soil.
Thank you for reading this post. Take time to breathe.

Cool idea re green and white leaves. And that entire wild violet – interesting and beautiful. So true about Hope. Reminds me of one of my favourite Bible verses Romans 15:13.
Ah , did I get the wrong text and forget to put ” in my understanding .”🤔Thanks for liking the idea and yes that violet with its heart shape leaves so suddenly pulled out.
Thank you Shelly. It was very pleasant in the garden. Take care.🤗🤗
The vases of leaves are just as beautiful as bowls of flowers, and I see that cute little turtle.
Ah, yes he is with the vases again. A little reminder of childhood and home.
I love this post so much. The different patterns on leaves always fascinate me as does the way roots grow and twist around each other. Thank you for these photos and words.
So glad you loved it. I got the pleasure to hold them . We are both happy.
