Ecosystem services to humanity

The flower recognises or accepts its part in the ecosystem – the ecosystem it shares with us

It makes itself available in a positive attractive way to other living creatures – and so might we

It expresses abundant beauty to attract other forms of life its way – we too can gather friends and followers by being appealing, approachable and welcoming.

Visitors to the flower are attracted to its offerings of shelter, food and value – we too can offer special gifts and support to others.

In return the flower receives pollination, essential to the regeneration of life – just as we benefit from community and others around us.

Normally, the flower has but one life (sometimes only a few hours) and an urgency to make its contribution – as we too have a relatively short life span in which to make a positive contribution to mankind.

The flower is abundantly open and even seeks the light – as we too need to be abundantly open, hiding nothing.

The flower shows up in harmony with the whole ecosystem, our ecosystem – so should we, for humanity sake

So in the wilderness of life, how far will we go to stand out and show up to make a difference? That is the question.

A lone bloom in the wilderness hanging out to make a difference. An example to mankind

How many wonders will we see in other Australian wildflowers, when we stop to look?
