Wait to Bloom // Spring flowers

I stayed in a Campus University in the United Kingdom while studying. In the middle of the university campus used to be a beautiful lake with ducks and geese and a lovely array of flowers throughout spring into summer.

I used to love taking long walks through the seasons along the lakeside, spying on baby cygnets and watching swans glide seamlessly on the surface of the water. Each season was different, each season taught me different lessons.

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”
