This then is the art and this is the soul of flower arranging: To see the empty vase and the scattered flowers and to know the arrangement. This is letting the lotus bloom.
from Letting the Lotus Bloom, the Expression of Soul through Flowers
by Kevin Joel Kelly
The lotus speaks eloquently of the passage of the soul through acts of art. Its journey begins in mud and travels through its roots, along its stem, into its leaves and then to its amazing blossom. The journey of the soul to its blossom is through the act of creation. Begun in the mud of chaos, the creative act is the journey. Let your soul bloom as you create beautiful flower arrangements. Let this book on flower arranging be your guide on the journey. Letting the Lotus Bloom, the Expression of Soul through Flowers is a book for all who create flower arrangements and all who love the arrangements they create.
