The other day in my backyard, among snapdragons in a rainbow of colors, one nine inch tall snapdragon boldly stood out.
It's flowers were as red as a candy apple, as it alone was touched by a sunbeam
I was captivated and asked it, "How did this happen?"
In a soft voice, the little red snapdragon replied, "It happened through nature's magic."
"Not a minute ago, I was in the shade," continued the little snapdragon, "And a minute from now, I will be in the shade again."
"But those who pay attention reap the benefit of the beauty I and other flowers offer as the light is cast upon us."
"But I'm so busy," I answered. "Does this beauty really matter?"
"I don't know," the snapdragon responded. "Does beauty matter? Or is life about being busy?"
"Is that a trick question," I asked the snapdragon. "Only if you're clueless," replied the smiling snapdragon in its tiny voice, its red petals graced by wisdom.
