Wheel-like Sunflowers remind us that life is a cycle.

 

This year, the sunflowers are especially prolific all across the West. Whenever I see them, they bring me such joy - with their thousands of perfect little "wheels," reminding me that life is never static. In the presence of sunflowers, I remember that each of our lives is ever cycling through its various internal seasons, none of which is meant to be permanent.
