THE FLOWERS "SING OUT" THEIR TRUTH

Language, written and spoken, is a symbol system. Math is a sysmbol system. Music is a symbol system, and flowers, too, are a symbol system.

Others in my Ikebana class this week looked at my arrangement of blooming rosemary, chrysanthemums and tulips and said, "Oh, it is so spring-like!"

The flowers do sing out their truth: I's here, it's here, that happy time of year! It IS spring!
