Sunflowers

 

I freaking love them. It is ridiculous how badly I used to dislike yellow, and how much I adore sunflowers. I know, crazy lock me up and throw away the key already.

They`re just big and yellow and tall and bright. And they grow all over Kilchberg, and I haven't seen any in Oetwil am See… but I know I will soon enough.

HOWEVER: There is a reason behind the freakiness. A logic behind the craziness. That is right. There is a reason.

I know, crazy eh? Since when does Merin Chacko that is right Merin Chacko ever have a reason for anything? What is the world coming to? Well according to Sam and Dean Winchester, its the Apocalypse baby (THANK GOD THEY STOPPED THAT ONE: GO ERIC KRIPKE!!!). As for the real world, well… I am probably just breathing up too much volcano dust here in Europe.

Alrighty, to get the the point. The Answer. The 42 of this particular post.

Think about it, why are these flowers called sunflowers? Because they always face the sun. They orient themselves and move according to where the sun moves. These are, cultured sunflowers that is. For some reason, wild sunflowers do not exhibit heliotropism. Funny, eh? I always think of it like this: Two types of people, ones who have been found and their seeds nurtured, feed with the world of God and taken care of. People who orient their lives towards their creator and their sustenance. Then the wild ones, who haven't quite gotten there yet.

If I need a role model for anything, it would be sunflowers. Their sustenance and life is the sun, they follow its every movement as the earth moves around. God is our daily bread, OF COURSE we should be like his sunflowers, following him in every way. It reminds me of the song by ´Hillsong London, Follow the Son (or Sun:P)

I follow the Son
You’re the only One
Let Your kingdom come
I’m giving it all
To the One I love
I follow the Son
Jesus holy One
Let Your will be done
I give it all to You
You are everything to me

I am just excited that I found yet another connection in my daily life to God. I should get brownie points!
