My morning walks this past wee while have been accompanied by the odour of wild garlic. A bit overpowering before 7am but the glen is quite overtaken at present by its white flowers and its pungency.
I wasn't aware of its presence over the winter, hidden in the ground, ready to burst into profusion when the time was just right and yet now it has completely taken over.
Many things lie in wait like that, ready to surprise us - when the time is right. If only we can recognise such gifts and appreciate them in their season, secure in the knowledge that, in time, we will be surprised again, maybe in a different way but always, when the time is just right.
