Blossom -- Wall Art and Home Decor at Steve Henderson Collections
Descended from Royalty
"Are you of royal descent?"
We see this question posted all the time in our social media feeds and can't help but wonder, do people really care? What is it about royal blood -- other than the money attached to it -- that people seek when they wonder if they are of noble, aristocratic, or royal descent?
And what do we mean by these terms?
"You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," Aslan, the truly noble character in C.S. Lewis's Narnia Chronicles, said. "And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."
Royalty Is a Man-made, Elite Little Group
There is no such thing as blood that is better than another person's blood, nor a nobility that descends from father to son to son to son, in an endless line of elite privilege with the only major qualification being that the present royal peerage is related to the person before him. True nobility stems from humility of heart, compassion to others, and a capacity and willingness to love.
The artwork, Blossom, shines upon a young woman experiencing the joy and wonder of spring. The blossom in her hand is worth far more than any cold, dead, royal jewels, because flowers are a gift to all of us from the God who makes them, and He does not reserve the good things He has made for a select, self-identified few. Blossom reminds us that, as Aslan points out, we are all of royal blood.
Blossom is available at this link as a canvas or framed print, as well as an image on everyday products and home decor items -- like the coffee mug, book tote case, sofa throw pillow, phone case, and greeting card shown below -- at Steve Henderson Collections
Blossom is featured in the online product guide at In Touch Rugby.
