Flowers and Life

Symbolism and the poetry of lifeFlowers have long been symbols of mortality, beauty, and love. Because flowers are produced during natural cycles in plant cycles integrated with the Moon, the Sun, and the movement of the seasons, themselves symbolic of change, growth and diminution, life and death they are ephemeral They bud, bloom, and decay.
Such beauty is all the more startling because it is temporary. Like the mandalas Tibetan monks draw with sand grains, only to blow away once finished, life arises like a flash in a wave.
Flowers near perfectly embody this glorious temporariness, where everything is constantly turning into everything else.
Through the temporary the permanent is maintained.
Through the mortal the immortal is glimpsed. And by their mere existence, which is infinite in beauty and possibility, if limited in time and material, they make further life all the more possible. And, perhaps more importantly, enjoyable.
