"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
(Columbine or Rock Bell (Aquilegia canadensis) - 08a) The common name of
the columbine apparently comes from the appearance of the flower looking to some
people as a circles of doves (Latin: columba) drinking around a fountain. An
equal stretch of the imagination led to the generic or scientific name,
Aquilegia, because the knobbed spurs looked like the talons of an eagle (Latin:
aquila). The head of a visiting ant can be seen looking out from under the left
side of the columbine flower.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
