#330 - Dog-rose in Sunlight

I was meditating last week on something written by St. Irenaeus of Lyons:“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” 

Seeing these roses in the sun brought the words to my mind again, "fully alive" - because, opening their petals wide into the afternoon light, they looked so unashamedly life-full, so unabashedly vital. It was somehow moving and challenging at the same time.
