We are often reminded to stop and smell the roses (and all fragrant flowers, really). This book takes it further and invites us to stop and listen with imagination and heart. In many cultures, ancient and modern, people believe that all life is sentient. The author realizes in this collection that flowers speak to us, when we slow down and notice their body language and subtle messages. Every day flowers offer gifts of light-heartedness, amusement, tranquility, and wonder.
Enjoy the lift with this inspired collection of artistic expressions found in flowers. Their short, beautiful lives encourage us to find beauty in the moment, to appreciate simple joys and cultivate mental strength even though life is fragile and temporary. All photos and artwork and the arrangements on each page are the work of the author.
