Flowers

    Flowers are the blooming of our emotions. They express how we feel when words fail us or are not enough. They reflect our inner landscape in every season, whatever the weather. Flowers are symbols of emerging promise, of unfolding beauty, of budding progress. They remind us that becoming is a natural process. Buddhists use the lotus as a sacred representation of the flowering of consciousness, the dawning of enlightenment. We too open as we reach for the light, and close when darkness engulfs us. We too need to be coaxed to develop our potential, encouraged to discover our abilities, nurtured to expose our hearts.
