    Wildflower Teaching

    Why do we dread that which we need Do sheep really know the best place to feed Branches bear fruit when connected to the vine How often our wedding feasts run out of wine We distance ourselves from the woman at the well Our ears are tuned to the sound of chapel bell Storms at sea bring...
