Faith Venture

We were on the Greek island of Crete last week. It is winter in the Mediterranean. Cool, rain. The wind from the sea must have been gusting at 40 mph. Maybe there was just a glimpse of the stories of Paul and ships on the Mediterranean at the wrong time of year.

We walked along a fortress wall by the harbor at Souda Bay. Bad weather and rough seas changed our itinerary from Heraklion. No problem.

Here grew one lonely dandelion amidst the rocks. The dark spot on one flower is a honey bee. One plant struggling up from the rocks, yet seemingly successful against all odds.

One bee. Found a flower. Some juicy food to take back to the hive.

Sometimes we struggle against the odds in our spiritual development journey. Sometimes we find success.

Sometimes we do our job. Maybe alone. Against the odds. Yet, we find nourishment.
