Emergence is the story of a flower growing from a tiny seed in the dark, into a beautiful bloom, such as the one we see here.

 

It speaks to the dark nurturing of the earth from whence it came, and the mystery of the possibility of beauty contained within the heart of a seed.  If you look carefully you will see moonlight in the background, which suggests the pull of the tides, and the waters of life flowing within every growing thing.

 

The peony delights the eye and fills the heart with gladness.
