The Ballad Of Clyde Burt

The sunflowers in The Ballad Of Clyde Burt tell a story: the seeds that we plant are not just about the flowers that may one day bloom. They are also a celebration of the flowers that once rose up, but have now disappeared.

It’s very hard to hear about suffering and lives that seem to have been cut short.

But the lasting response to this knowledge, these experiences, whether it be our own pain and grief or that of others, should not be misery, or nostalgia, or giving up, or depression. Even if these feelings might endure for a time.

Clyde’s parents demonstrate a better way - to celebrate the life that has been and gone, by investing in life to come.

We can plant a seed.
