Love is a flower, springing forth from a seed deep within; sprouting, growing, developing shoots and leaves, then budding forth to its full beauty in the gently showers of our loving relationships. The perfume of that precious blossom brings hope to all, and the world is suffused with its sweet scent.

The fragrance of this flower is like a voice, beckoning when it emerges, in the night, in the day, and it becomes something that can settle the heart, or stir waters that have been placid and calm.

Let the heart awaken to the profound nature of love.
