Fine Art - In My Backyard

It is interesting how one can find a gem in their own backyard. When my husband and I bought our house, we found out that it was involved in a huge fire and that the front and the back were BLOWN out. There was only the skeleton of the house left. We knew nothing about what the previous owner has planted in the garden at all. When spring came and all the snow had melted away we were very surprised to see tulips coming out from the soil that had been riden with ash and debris.
The tulip here has a yin yang sequence to it, (”The concept of yin and yang (or earthheaven) describes two opposing and, at the same time, complementary (completing) aspects of any one phenomenon (object or process) or comparison of any two phenomena” Wikipedia.com) and the past of the explosion as well as the renewal of another season and plant life to come about after a tragedy is wonderful to see. Especially if it is in your backyard.
