in her nature..........

Mercifully, the prairie preserves herself - from all cares of this life............
she is never too much entangled by the seasons.......the foot traffic............even from the many necessities of her existence...........


she doesn't care if she is ensnared by pleasure, and from all hindrances around her.........


but she casts herself down in times of trouble..............


within this time, the prairie is exploding with life..............and unspeakable withdrawal of a certain allure she cannot resist........
it is in her nature............
she stands her ground...........
she is not deceived by harsh weather.........it is her most delightful time to infuse within the world that surrounds her with her own self..............


and I am more than willing to lend her a hand to help direct her, though she does not need me, but such things are not forbidden but support not a burdensome task..........

to some, she speaks things common, to others, more sweetly she appears in signs and figures with a great light she reveals her mysteries........

p.s. the giveaway winner will be announced on Wednesday....................

I've grown to love prairies so much more! I have gotten to explore them through my ecology class I have this semester. Amazing diversity shown with such simplicity!
Hope all is well!
