a note from the editor
Efflorescence is the state in which a flower blooms. In this issue we celebrate the beauty of a blossom and all that it can symbolize. We can relate the peaks and valleys we face in life to the cycle of a flower. When
we are joyful we radiate the same type of
rejuvenating energy that a blooming flower does.
And
in our darkest moments our inner self can become
visible for all to see, much like a diaphanous blossom.
When
the bloom dies, we need to always remember that
seeds for new flowers are being created.
One
bloom can make a hundred seeds
Malorie Shmyr,
-
eternal renewal.
