Sunflower Festival, Abbotsford, B.C.
I’ve always loved sunflowers and have been fascinated by the way young ones follow the light, simply trusting it will be there and turning toward it. As young children, we naturally turn toward what feels alive and true, toward the light. Over time, that clarity can fade. Expectations form, and the light can become harder to see.
I once read that when a sunflower is physically constrained and unable to move freely, it develops less fully and grows smaller overall. That image stayed with me.
Looking back, I can see ways I became like a sunflower held in one direction, shaped more by expectation than by inner knowing. Learning to sense the difference has been gradual, a quiet process of listening and gently reorienting. This website is one expression of that turning.
You’ll see the sunflower logo on every page of this site. For me, it’s a quiet reminder: to stay oriented toward what brings light and to trust that direction, even when it unfolds slowly and isn’t easy.
