Synopsis

As a child, Bríd Kennedy was fascinated with the beautiful scents, colors, and shapes of flowers. They stirred something deep within that she could not name. The mystery and beauty of flowers sparked her curiosity to develop her research question: Is flower appreciation a participation in a Divine-human transformation process, and if so, how is it being expressed? Through a practice of authentic interiority striving towards beauty, intelligibility, truth, goodness, and love, the author now realizes how interdependent humans are with all creation.

Flowers are an essential part of creation bringing in wisdom and healing. Appreciating them is a participation in a Divine-human transformation process expressed through our acknowledgement of the scent, color, shape, and any changes in these through deeply knowing that something sacred is within them. Taking precious moments to stand and smell flowers enriches the soul as it reminds people of who they are as humans and to care for Mother Earth.

Drawing on science, spirituality studies, psycho-spiritual perspectives, and historical and cultural literature awakened Kennedy’s appreciation of “beauty within.” Flowers are evidence of the purpose in the universe. Consider and contemplate them in depth, as this book invites and initiates. The well-being of one’s body is not possible without the well-being of the planet.
