The Red Flower: I am Trying to Tell You Something

I was walking by Casa Loma. This red flower was standing tall over the others. Everyone stopped to take her picture. Then they moved on.

I lingered. And listened. The red flower was trying to tell me something. 

It was a message of hope – a promise of a new day. I treasure this picture because it promises me a brave new world once we return to post-pandemic normalcy. That is what she told me. And I believe her with all my heart.
