In summer 2022, I was invited to my neighbor’s house at midnight to watch the blooming of their Queen of the Night flower (also known the Dutchman’s pipe cactus). It blooms only once a year in the darkness of the night and withers in the morning. It was such a profound lesson to me that nature allows such magnificence to occur in darkness. Applying this lesson to my own life, I was encouraged in my personal health challenges. Even in the hardships and darkness, I should continue fighting because beauty flourishes even in the most adverse of circumstances.
