Cee’s Flower of the Day
Between grass and fading shepherd’s purse a small cluster of Ornithogalum appeared, also known as Star of Bethlehem. This symbolic flower stands for hope, trust, honesty, solidarity and compassion.
Our thoughts are with our friends in Palestine and Israel and we hope a peaceful way forward can be found for the highest good of all.

The above haiku were first published in EarthRise Rolling Haiku Collaboration 2021 – Entering the Earth as part of a four-haiku sequence, dedicated to the memory of Rachel Corrie (1979-2003), who was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer while she was peacefully protesting against the demolition of the home of a Palestinian family.
