No matter how much we want to believe that we are like others, and how much we want to "fit in", we are different.
We can have the same parents, grow up in the same hometown, read the same books, go to the same schools, and have the same teachers, but the things we take away are different than even those with whom we share DNA.
We learn differently, we see things differently, we hear things that resonate that others discard as noise.
Others may scoff at something that moves us to the core. We are different.
That thought struck me today as I walked to our field of flowers. We have a field of zinnias that we planted for the bees.
Jilda walks down every few days and cuts fresh bouquets for our bathrooms and the great room.
Today when I walked down, I noticed a lone white flower in a rainbow of zinnias. It was no better or worse than the other beautiful flowers, but it was different.
