The Way of the Wildflower Quotes

“What freedom is ours when we consider this way of the wildflower; smiling at the sun, unburdened by what isn’t ours to fret about or carry.”
― Ruth Chou Simons, The Way of the Wildflower: Gospel Meditations to Unburden Your Anxious Soul

“I’ve long associated a hillside of wildflowers with the feeling of roaming free. Wildflowers are unhindered by fences, and they do not broadcast their beauty out of obligation or a desire to impress. They don’t need fanfare to thrive, and they don’t require fussing and fretting to be their best. Wildflowers don’t need much—no special care, pruning, or fertilizing. They require but a little water, space, and sunshine to grow. Whether you and I look upon them or ignore them altogether makes no difference; they go on blooming extravagantly. Perhaps that’s why a meadow of wildflowers feels synonymous with freedom; these flowers seem to burst unrestrained in the wild.”

“Oh, to be like a wildflower—dependent and surrendered, not demanding a specific storyline, a certain season, or a more ideal circumstance, but to truly bloom where we’ve been planted.”
