A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose

"People from a planet without flowers would

think we must be mad with joy the whole

time to have such things about us."

- Iris Murdoch

A small bouquet of wild violets picked by a five-year-old, a bride's bouquet of daisies because he gave her one daisy on their first date, a spray of mixed garden flowers decorating the dining room table because it's their 14th anniversary- flowers do make us mad with joy. Flowers can linger in our hearts long after they wilt. They are like the sweetest words, the most loving hug, the richest, and a heavenly hammock on a sweet spring day.

TODAY I WILL GIVE FLOWERS TO SOMEONE WHO LEAST EXPECTS THEM.
