When I discovered this Pasqueflower blooming in the ashes of last Spring's Hewlett Burn, it seemed to embody a festive mood, like an inverted two-toned umbrella set up at the beach. Pasqueflowers were popping up all over the burned meadow, making a stunning sight with their lavender and white hues contrasting vividly with the black of the ash. What if we humans could be just as festive as we begin building our dreams afresh from within the ash of our disappointments?
