FLOWERS

   The earth wanted to smile and she created flowers. It was not an ordinary smile. It is a smile filled with beauty, fragrance, caress, and it would last forever. Can a life be momentary and at the same time a felicity? Ask a flower. Flowers have no life; they have only the present moment. A seed of yesterday and a fruit of tomorrow, a flower is a divine flyover connecting past and future. There is not a single thing that flowers have not embellished. Flowers have adorned skies, flowers have adorned fields and meadows, flowers have beautified gardens and flowers have bejeweled hearts. Mauled be that house which is without a flower, mauled forever. Humans celebrate their joy with flowers and they mourn their grief with flowers. The most mysterious attribute of a flower is its unending wealth of fragrance. No one has yet heard of a flower whose treasure of fragrance got depleted because many smelled it! Let the consciousness of a flower descend deep down into you and you at once start to sense its whispers. You can’t miss a candid Clerodendrinum whispering on divine consciousness of sanctified worship, you can’t ignore the dignified Dahlia which is occupied bargaining to debase falsehood, you can’t fail to notice the modest Jasminum blossoming out with the purest form of purity, you can’t pass over the aspiring Michelia contemplating the smile divine, you can’t be knocked off without breathing the intoxicating Pandanus at work attracting the attention of all, you can’t ignore gorgeous Tulipa assuring you the success or a humble Lilium offering gratitude for no obvious reason. We charge money for flowers; flowers won’t, to disseminate their essence. We crush flowers and make perfumes., flowers won’t mind that. From bees to angels, flowers offer themselves to everyone. If flowers had a voice, what a beautiful verse they would sing!
