Into the mind of the receiver of flowers we plunge so that we can rise with new found depths of the world’s most enduring beauty. Why is this singular item of perfection so beautiful? Ortega y Gasset, the Spanish philosopher, once commented that to seek beauty or perfection in love were in fact of the same sort of search, if to be distinguished at all.
Seeking the beautiful is in fact the act of love itself. We perceive excellence in those whom we love, and wish to become acclimated to this higher plane of existence. That being said, if the perfection we perceive in the highest of relations between humans (love) could be alluded to in some other form, would there be anything more worthy of such symbolic perfection than a flower? Somehow, we think now.
So if you wish to display the sincerest of gratitude towards one who has brightened your existence or if you wish to elevate the days of some other fellow member of mankind, these gifts of nature would suit your purposes most effectively. They say “thank you” like no other and transmit love, devotion, and remembrance. In a world that can seem to have so many enemies, it is good to know that we may have some constant and reliable friends. Allow the beauty of flowers to enrapture you and others, life is too short to miss out on such pure pleasures.
