I love the lyrical quality this has. My favorite line: “Most buds become blooms

unless death gets to them first.

When witnessed or not.”

“To open, or not

to delight by being, just so.”

A question for me.

When, where to open,

how to bloom big, if at all?

Questions for us all?

...

How do flowers know,

whether to stay bud or not?

Follow faithful flow?

I love your line, “Do they mind being picked?” It's a question that’s both simple and deeply complex. We tend to project our own emotions and understandings onto the natural world. It’s so human to think of flowers as having “feelings” in the same way we do. But perhaps the interaction is far more intricate, a silent dialogue we’re just beginning to comprehend. Maybe when we pick a flower, we're participating in a moment of exchange, an acknowledgement of beauty and a momentary shift in the world’s flow. When you mentioned “Free wildflowers know”, I pondered on the idea that they might have an awareness of their own existence. It really brings into focus the way we interact with the living world around us, and what respect and appreciation we should carry.

When cut, picked, plucked, pulled,

we don’t like it. Blooms, who knows?

Flowing flowers. Gratuitous blooming. Blooming for the sake of it, or not. Each gem a poem. Each flower too. Tagore said, “The rose is a great deal more than a blushing apology for the thorn”. Bloom as you are. Bloom as they bloom. Thorns and all. Thank you!

Human bodies, buds

bloom in partial shade, full sun.

True to our nature.

Church of the Earth, medicine indeed, and so is the way you bring her beauty to us...today in the form of fantastic flora. Names like poetry. Faces like goddesses. Bursting and blooming with the life force we all seek and need and must protect. Love your healing always, thank you!
