Floral fragrances

Nature’s sweet perfume.

An impossibly beautiful zinnia with dark pink petals at its outer edge and lighter rings of petals as you move towards the center of the flower. At the centre, a circle of dark red is ringed by light yellow and pink new petals forming.

The singular and cheerful life
of any flower
in anyone's garden
or any still unowned field--
if there are any--
catches me
by the heart,
by its color

by its obedience
to the holiest of laws:
be alive
until you are not.

From The Singular and Cheerful Life by Mary Oliver

The sun’s final bow.
Colours burst across the sea –
A grand, fleeting show.

Science describes accurately from outside,
poetry describes accurately from inside.
Science explicates,
poetry implicates.
Both celebrate what they describe.

"Come quickly - as soon as
these blossoms open,
they fall.
This world exists
as a sheen of dew on flowers."

I've asked to volunteer in hostels and where not possible booked hostels that offer trips so you get to know people and the country and always try to say yes to new things!

start small.
let the driver merge,
let the cashier breathe,
let the stranger’s silence mean something
other than indifference.

β€œSnow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”
