The Miracle of Flowers

Poets write of their timeless beauty. Artists are compelled to paint them. Prophets speak of their transitory nature and value in enlightening the human soul. Flowers are the personification of purity, beauty and love. They give healing and bring us joy. They make us feel good and help us celebrate meaningful moments in our lives. They may bring a smile or invoke a tear. They are transformative and eternal. Flowers grow wildly in the fields and woods, in our gardens, and in the cracks of a city pavement. To gaze upon a flower is to behold the wisdom of life. How miraculous, that something so bountiful and free upon the earth, is also the source of spiritual understanding. When in the company of a flower, you are instantly transported; taken to this world of light and tranquillity. As you gaze into this other world, you begin to release the ties of thought. Looking further, in contemplation upon the glowing colours, the myriad patterns, the way the sun shines through the transparent veil of petals, you move into a deep spiritual state with the flower.Wander at leisure through the garden of these living pages. Gaze through your inner looking glass - and there you will come to know the language, the wisdom and the miracle of flowers.
