WhiteDove Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago. Where have all the flowers gone? (Pete Seeger) What a great post by UncleHairy in the "ministering to people" thread. Made me think back to the early 70's when the kids in the Way of Kansas sold flowers on the street corners. We were all kids then,fresh from the movement. John Lennon's words playing in my head "I just want to say that Apathy isn't it! We can do something! Ok so Flower Power didn't work! So What? We start again! And yet there they were,changing lives one flower at a time. Little Pandora,Steve & Suzi S*nn and Cobalt Kid you were there too! Long before I was a part of the Way I knew many of these folks. Oh there were problems even then. But what special people they were,and my life is richer for being with them in that moment of time. It wasn't really about the flowers, Oh sure they were a good deal,but it was really how you felt after spending a few minutes of your day with them. The Excitement and Love of Life. They were caring souls and your day was left better from spending a few minutes with them. They Were ministering to people! one flower at a time. A Day Gone By And How Sad.... The years have passed so quickly One thing I've understood I am only learning To tell the trees from the wood John Lennon Edited February 26, 2005 by Whitedove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
