When I painted these flowers, I imagined how much flowers must love their world. They gather together and proclaim their existence: happy to be just where they are, content with whatever is going on at the moment.  What a lesson to be learned: be content, be grateful, be happy. So often, we spend our time worrying about the past or future. What great fun we could have if we just gathered together, raised our hands up as petals on a flower, and proclaimed the glory of our being.
