    The journey in the soul of a flower

    Home, means the right to say,
    "I'm fine today!"

    The unique, creative and beautiful show lies in the significance of the soul landscape of this planet's garden.



    The freedom of a flower to explore the world in colorful petals of promise, being ready to be sufficient for its path blooming in the sun and growing in rain-blessed drops, always inspires us in mystical contemplation and deep experience in the unique power to open ourselves, for our soul in the face of life's trials.

    A flower always remains a miracle to listen, its root always bears fruit but also considers its reward for the Earth.



    The modesty of a flower with which she presents herself to the world and especially her pious way of life as art, sets the tone for beauty in a single sigh of our heart, a sigh that embodies billions of prayers for the beauty of life.

    If we transpose this self-satisfaction of a simple flower in the care for the beauty of our soul, meditating beside it, reading in the mirror of its petals the gratitude and the voice of its heart, reading humility and joy in the spark of good thought, taking root with its feelings, I think we can save the happiest way of life for billions of souls, at least for a second.

    The reunion of each answer in the passion of life, lies in the guidance of a heart acquired through serenity and gentleness, small things bring us the satisfaction of always doing good, our beauty is when we can always stand upright and towering in a gentle wind of continuous change.

    We are travelers with the thought as we grow in place, we grow the essence of our seed from the earth as we travel in the sap of the meaning of flourishing for a time that belongs to us, the time within us.



    The whole stillness of the flower's silence, speaks in its beauty, sings through its perfume, heals through its properties, always offers by enriching others.
    A flower generates respect and acceptance towards other flowers and towards the environment, through a permanently affective state of empathy and dedication in an essence of always fair connection and in discernment of pleasant emotional clarity, a whole comfort for acceptance in itself.

    If you look for the legacy in the garden of your soul, you will find it in the first flower you meet, if you look for the magnificent moment that represents your life in the character of the origin of your soul, you will find it when you wake up in full act of life and hear yourself say : "Per Angusta Ad Augusta!"

    'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need" Marcus Tullius Cicero




    If you look for the ode to your soul, you will find it only in the frontispiece of the flowering of others, if you search for nature in your soul, you will find that Nature has been looking for you for a long time through eternity in full will of inheritance.

    The sacredness of a performance of rendering a simple beauty is transformed today into something too pompous and the celebration of simplicity in its natural character, was also transformed into something too pretentious for all our understanding, maybe, and almost certainly, that we do not always manage to understand all with a dogma.

    When you reach for a flower, it trembles slightly, responding in full emotional vitality, the confluence between the reality of its existence and the healing power to make us happy, it is built during the act, you can appreciate this in the simplest values you find on time.
    An entire plant universe supports the origin of every pure feeling of infinity in the unfolding of the love wings of a single flower, imagine this in all the enchanted beauty of this wonderful planet!
    The inspiration to plant a seed rewards our boundless culture of life, adorns the garden of our soul in a continuous search and experience of beauty, gives us the heritage of a deep state of love in full effect and grace of simplicity.

    The recipe of a tree

    The details capture the essence of life, if we understand what is most important for today in the sphere of our soul. The minutes of our good thoughts germinate in the crystal leaves of the best expectations for this wonderful planet.
    The bedding in the fields of flourishing hopes always germinates the mystery of the sun's rays of full fascination within balance in the heart of the planet, it will embrace us in golden horizons in which dreams will be the delicate echo of our petal words.

    We gather words carefully, in the specter of the delicate longing to feel the breath of the wind in our heartbeat, to taste the clouds just to dew ourselves over fields of hot green life, and to spread the curtain of stars over the oceanic aquarium of the world.We are nature
    A smile of ours has the power to rise with the Sun, a dream swings our soul in the corners of the bright moon, a word gives us courage in the color of existence and the soul fulfills them in its planting of living particles of seeds.



    In the fine bright and white root, beyond the story of each trunk, the white marble of the last glow that burns in examples of life, performs the miracle of transcendence in streams of eternal genesis, is only the picture of life in the cosmic art gallery beyond the artifices of happiness, in full act plasma porcelain creation.

    We seem to be always waiting for the equinox of our awakening, in the middle of the parental garden of our soul.
    We tremble in oblivion in the heart of a stone sheepfold whose deeds we have already done throughout our solid construction, we raise castles and corridors in the center of the earth to find out the vitality of the external evidence, we fraternize with waiting in bright limestone constructions only to look with sapphire eyes at the diamond snow of knowledge as it sits lightly on our shoulders.

    But the golden sand that flows in the immensity of our consistency, plunges us through the hourglass of life using time as a counting of words, always picking the lasting flowers of the ocean that has not passed through the garden of the universe.



    A great tree that stretches its arms towards the universe, speaks in golden letters through poems of souls in a single verse, and we read among its branches, while the roots expand wide areas of connection.
    In the blue eyes of the labyrinth of the universe, in the elegance of movement, we acquired our birth as a diamond of abilities in consecrating the last journey always, but in the gentleness and scent of a winter morning we count the ice flowers on our garden window, we move slowly with the thought on the soul alleys from the garden, in the impossibly fascinating monotony of curiosity. Just to find out.

    A rain of frequent voices, gravitates the silence moving it out of place, and in the roar of the deafening vibration of the world, we find peace and light it with an abstract torch somewhere in the middle of the path.
    Inside, paying for a truth only through courage, we think contentedly that we have kept the seeds in our souls for the spring of freedom in a new beginning. The apparent continuity goes beyond the resistance of the doors in the splendor of any storm, in waves of bravery of the trireme of almost conquered destiny.



    A magnetic sleep leads us steps in the lucidity of a continuous dream of waking up and the mirror behind the garden weaves the visual art into a knot of truth that we assimilate like a simple flower scent.
    Beyond the nullity of the strings related to our own illusions that we have cultivated with care for too long, the garden revolves around its own axis of magnificent reality.

    In perfect memories, we sometimes feel like tourists from elsewhere in the garden of knowledge we cultivate.
    A stopwatch of birds flying elegantly above us in a circle, slipping at a time when the invitation is eternal bring the tree in front of us when it opens his doors, and we blindfold ourselves trying to catch time in a kind of future that is too long.
    The tree closes its doors in silence, and from above it detaches from the branches in the sound of lightning, the gift of an enormous seed that falls directly to the epicenter of our wisdom, where we receive the recipe of life in symbols of elements that belong to us. The seed of a single smile.



    In the full emotion of a carousel of cold air we wake up in the form of an ample survival, we get lost among the colors asking for hugs from another time moving towards glass walls that slowly crack in the fog, the words are no longer heard, when, from our hand falls the torch of silence in the tunnel of the light of knowledge, we skillfully step in the flight to the half-open eyelashes of time, the time of awakening, and finally, we smile consciously during the static journey, on a bench in the middle of the garden.



    The carousel of awakening finds our fragile soul as a landmark on the garden map,
    the theorems in the court of life no longer matter, the images in the whole picture are colorless in specular facts created from molecular equations from the nuclear wax reaction of a mind.
    When we seem to know everything, we do not possess anything, when we think we possess the whole of creation, we know absolutely nothing.



    In the vegetable world everything is superlative, nothing is old and everything is equal now, in the neurotropic pharmacy of life of Nature, when we drink the tincture of transformation in rhythm with existence, we find ourselves as gardeners of an entire universe.
    And all this to be just human.

    We always hear the saying "garden of my soul".

    If we are close enough to nature and have often fallen asleep in the shade of a tree in the arms of nature, then we know that this expression is a constant prayer for the depth and protection of Mother Nature.
    The garden as a symbol of a flower is the most beautiful experience that brings us the peace, love and comfort of seeing life in its wonderful simplicity.

    The unhindered gift with which the plants near our house offer us happiness, lies in the ancient presence of nature that develops the treasures of our soul only by observing their beauty.

    The beauty of a flowering tree brings us so many similarities to the variety of good things we have experienced in our lives. Often, looking at a flowering tree, we remember that how many flowering flowers it has in all its amplitude, as well as so many flowers also pleasant experiences in our lives… and we are amazed, contemplating the beauty of the flowers in the wonderful memories.

    Every pleasant memory has its intensity of perfume, its manifestation in opening its petals to the happiness of existing and especially the fruit of the flower of each memory, the sweetness of a fruit in the gratitude that we offered everything for every detail of life.
    Whenever the petals of the memories of a single flower, from the formidable variety of life experiences, come off easily and fall in favor of the fruit that must grow, we understand the need for the fruit without forgetting how beautiful its flower was.



    Knowledge in one fruit is at our fingertips.
    If we choose to take it from the tree before it ripens, we will have half a way to feel the sweetness and juice of his life and wisdom, and we will be left with an endless story about the beginning of an acquaintance.

    If we choose to take the fruit from the tree when we consider it ripe, we may be left with the perfection we have chosen in the taste for knowledge,
    and this ensures the need to "want more" in nominating a plan to plant more trees.

    The expression in which you say that you cannot blame a fruit for its consistency and fiber, just as you cannot blame the seed of a tree for not offering fruit directly, is well known.
    If you look at a flowering tree long enough to see its appearance differently every time, you can see that the tree is alive and talking to you. He needs your care and interest in his favorable condition.

    If we have enough patience to be able to observe every day a slight change of shade in the color of the fruit as the fruit in its autonomy ripens itself in the sun, with juice from the sap of the tree roots, swinging in the wind and rain,
    growing under a sky of stars lit in the moonlight and in the wonderful gravity of the earth that supports it… if we can be patient that the fruit ripens long enough for him alone to decide that the time has come for us to taste it, we must be careful and catch him when he falls alone from the tree, so as not to get hurt in the fall of gravity's love for the earth.

    Only then a fruit that endured the beautiful weather and the storms and the lack of water and drowning in too much rain, and escaped unscathed from all these, that is a fruit of hope for a more perfect nature that makes our heart and soul happy.



    A tree soul, in the fruit of the connections of life in an entire universe, sweetens our soul as gardeners of this planet. Let's taste it properly.

    Just as the flowers, so small and sensitive of a tree, close their petals at night to feel protected, so do we humans in our dreams need protection.
    We are so vulnerable in our sensitivity that we sometimes breathe only through the presence of Nature that swings us in the effect of life.
    The garden of our soul is the infinite temple in the heart of Nature and nature in any structure that surrounds us is blooming, but every gardener of existence knows this.
    We are all gardeners of this world, we can plant a good deed every day and have patience to wait for its fruits, because often the fruit endures patience and not the other way around, that's why we love it so much.

    If we have a garden near us, the similarities of a plant's life are the same with the whole life character of a being. In the middle of nature we feel like wonderful beings. When you say living being, you say Nature, when you say Nature, you see all living beings trembled with joy.

    In the life of a stone is embroidered the efficiency of each quote about Nature, in the flow of a river flows the continuity of the wisdom of nature, and in the flowering of a flower lies the success of Nature as evidence of the sanctuary in our soul, every day.



    Talk to a flower today and she will never forget you, offer the fruit from your garden to those who need it most and feel the sweetness of a good deed, greet the mountains in the distance by bowing to their endurance and beauty, drink from the spring behind your garden in every morning, from the information of Nature in its essence, and live in the spirit of water and feel with it, because you are also water, look up at the sky, in the middle of your garden and catch in your hands the warmth of the sun's rays blessing its light,
    enjoy the pleasant coolness of the starry sky in the resonance of light and vibration of colors from the garden of your soul,
    honor life by closing your eyes to catch the side of your soul, all are here with you, be grateful, but more than that, be happy for this!

    You own the garden of life!

    Anca
    And all this to be just human.

    Sometimes in the woods you see a nature spirit......



    His face is above the crystal ball.

    Other-times you spot a magic tree......



    Then you find you can enter inside the tree. Realise it still has a consciousness, even though it is hollow and just marvel at the energy.



    Sometimes .....you find there is more energy away from a famous spiritual site......in a garden called Chalice Wells.







    And a tree has more energy than the Tor

    In the garden of our soul, in the middle of the altar of life, we must make time to walk, we must admire a leaf, a flower, a butterfly, a rainbow born from a tear and a ray of sunshine.
    Surely we have done this at least once in our lives.

    There we find the cobbled paths from us and towards us, there, the light is unique, unmistakable and in continuous transformation.
    We find ourselves in the unique space of reflection, where we plant the seeds of wisdom in a pure white blanket of snow and wait for spring to rediscover the feeling of love rising from blue flowers in the infinity of the sky, deep in the buds of our hopes.

    It is good not to stir up the earth of a tried soul,
    but to honor him with confidence and rains of joy, to beautify him, root by root in the courage chosen to always plant other seeds of love.



    Every day we must plant a seedling of prayer and a seed of friendship, then wait for it to grow beyond the expectations of those who gave us the opportunity. Sometimes we expose our flowers, from the garden of our soul, sometimes others throw weed seeds on them, but we also find utility in weeds, because beauty nourishes our soul and essence nourishes our matter.

    Beauty is to be shared with other gardeners, diligence is done to give it to Nature. Nothing can ennoble our belonging to this planet more than the love that is flourishing in the garden of our soul.

    Living in Nature is truly a completely formative experience just being always close to it.
    Living in the heart of nature is for me a whole ability, a kind of immensity of information in the quality of its contemplation. It is always more than we can see, and that comes only from contemplating its beauty which is absolutely everything we need to know.

    My only clue about what makes me more grounded in the almost universal resolution of nature, is the joy that it exists, it is what wakes me up in the morning. Once you live close to nature, I think there is no other escape than to cherish it every day more.
    Here where I live I feel that nature really has a benevolent force, a synergy that I have often felt that belongs to all living beings, including human beings.

    When I am in nature, I feel that it enriches me to experience a kind of maximum potential to be with her, something that is reflected in all my subsequent actions, as if I could always find myself through her. It is an experience, pleasant, but it needs the quality to spend more time close to nature.



    The fact that I take a walk in nature, to see for example small wild mushrooms, to take a handful of black forest soil, which smells incredibly beautiful, something automatically connects in me, something that absorbs the performance of my well-being, somehow by itself.
    I gave up wall clocks, because their ticking took away the beauty of the sound of crickets at night, and having nothing to measure time "from the eyes" at day, I look instead at the open window to the fresh air, somewhere between the beauty of the sky and the air between me and the blue.
    The beauty of nature must be more than a relaxing aesthetic connection, it is an emotional connection in which the heart stops beating to hear our amazement in the full acceptance of Nature, being convinced that Nature is more than we can see.
    It is an unplugged performance connected to the fine and subtle acoustics of life itself, a kind of passion, adventure and humanity if you look closely.



    Nature is not only a connection between us and her, it is a connection of wide spaces of connections in an interaction and realization at the same time as by immersion and living in its environment, we are almost part of a kind of a broad consciousness.
    Something to which we can always reconnect, a balanced balance with the source itself, just when we realize how small we are in the widest, most vast space in which our authenticity can have no equivalent but with the Nature in which we are, then is a sweet surrender finding us clearly in our own existence, wanting for us to know the world even more in the most beautiful way.



    If I find a beautiful stone that catches my eye, I take it with me and take it to another place of Nature, as if I wanted to be able to offer Nature its own beauty, in order to be able to thank her.
    The quality of my life and my health has improved considerably from the moment I understood that I had to take the small things more slowly and understand the big situations in a broader sense, Nature gave me the chance to give myself the opportunity and the favor of being much gentler with me, but I still have to learn, so I'm glad I can still enjoy the beauty of Nature.
    Our lives must be lived in sync with nature, a nostalgia for pure art in the full act of one reality.

    If you can visit Kew, your soul will feel very happy.



    Kew, the area in which Kew Gardens are situated, consists mainly of the gardens themselves and a small surrounding community. Royal residences in the area which would later influence the layout and construction of the gardens began in 1299 when Edward I moved his court to a manor house in neighbouring Richmond. That manor house was later abandoned; however, Henry VII built Sheen Palace in 1501, which, under the name Richmond Palace, became a permanent royal residence for Henry VII.

    Beautiful places in the world that bring wonder and joy to the beholder. Each moment is open and holds connection to all that is. Merging with that moment reminds us of the deeper connection and brings us home.
