A crack in the sidewalk...

When I walked out to get the mail I saw the first iris in bloom. I took some photos and then as I walked back up the driveway there were these tiny yellow flowers growing bright and beautiful in a crack in the sidewalk. In the end the fragile flowers making their way through cement touched me much more deeply than an iris which would easily have made it's way up through the soil at some time or another. I long to be a wildflower that can come up through a crack in the sidewalk. I think it is a metaphor for my life...
