The soul as flower

Unfolding, unfurling…one of the best images in nature of the mandala, which in many traditions is a visual representation of the soul, is the flower. Each petal a different facet, a different capacity, a reflection of desire.

Our garden provides ample opportunity to reflect upon flowers.  How their designs attract the insects in symbiotic purpose.  How their colors adorn the creation in splendor.

But it is the surprise of each flower, how it’s unique fragile statement reflects the wholeness and perfection of our souls.  Yes, it’s the surprise that unfurls as we walk into the completion of our lives that each flower sings of while turning to face the sun.
