Beloved Life

This sunflower is growing in a crack next to the median on Highway 494 in the Twin Cities.  Despite the poor conditions – very little soil, air filled with car exhaust, mixed light, and very limited water – this flower is flourishing.  There is a power in life that allows one to thrive, even in less than ideal circumstances.
