MUMS: A paean to the wonder of chrysanthemums Imagine the sun as a flower & earth as a slender stalk of green! Imagine petals as fiery novas whose leafy tongues lick luminosity! O shining floral trumpets & bouquets of gold-saffron melody! Inhale this blazing vortex – & breathe its rich russet luminosity After that how can you be glum? Noel: Flowers speak a language directly to the heart. Gwen: Yes, a flower at full bloom is intoxicating. Their life cycles remind us that all things exist within larger and smaller cycles. Tara: Wasn't it Theodore Roethke who said, "Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light"? Orapan: (laughing at the pseudo-intellectual garbage being spoken) Woof!
