Forest Floor Star Flower

I am a radiant expression of the Universal, along with everyone else.
Though I appear to stand alone, I am secretly connected with all that is.
The Universal within me, within all, is my intrinsic unity with all that is.
I am only an individualization of the One, the Universal. And so is
everyone else. Yet the Universal is greater than the sum of us all.
I am so grateful for my unity with this Greatness now.
And so it is.

  1. I LOVE these little flowers! They create a magical carpet amongst the moss on our forest floor! Now I know what to call them. Not that they would answer to that name, but for my own satisfaction. Or to sound knowledgeable.

  2. I love these little flowers, too. My title was meant to be more descriptive. Looking them up, however, they are called Pacific starflower, western starflower or oval-leaved starflower. Taxonomic name is Trientalis borealis subsp. latifolia - in the primrose family (primulaceae). More fun to enjoy seeing them in full bloom in June. Often seven-petaled, like this one.
