See a Flower, See the World


If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment."
-Georgia O'Keeffe



I noticed the above quote on the back of a book purchased in Santa Fe in the Nineties. I saw it and thought,

'If you take the world in your hand and really look at it, it's your flower for the moment.'

The world when held and considered through time is like a flower, an amazing work of beauty, grace and resilience, born and reborn over seasons and cycles of light and dark, hot and cold, shifting days and nights filled with moments breathing joy and sorrow, peace and strife.
