The Flower Movement-An refreshingly positive Agitation



I had a stroll through the countryside this weekend.
I felt a refreshing blast of peace and happiness through me.
Ask me why.....??.I was amidst a place filled with wild flowers.
Water lilies,Hibiscuses and a few more flowers which I am unable to name.
I guess blooming flowers in their natural state emit peace and happiness
vibrations which few other natural events can compare with.
The therapeutic and emotional effect of blooming flowers have little
comparisons elsewhere.

I look at the current athmosphere around me.Lots of frustrated,angry,
hedonistic and arrogant souls around me who have lost their touch with
nature and life.

I look back---40 years back.
Their was one movement which helped people to connect with their roots,
The Hippie or the flower children who questioned the ethics and foundations
of the contemporary society.We need something similar even now--As an observer recalled-""The cry of 'Flower Power' echoes through the land.
We shall not wilt.Let a thousand flowers bloom."

We need to fill our concrete jungles with more flowers and flower plants to
remind people of their dreary lives and the unbridled mechanical routine they
have sunk into.

As an old song goes'"If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some
flowers in your hair". We need to improve the flower quotient in our cities.
More gardens and more urban gardens in skyscrapers.
We need that therapeutic effect to sooth the distressed minds.

We need to bring back the flowers in our souls and allow our happiness and true spirit of our lives to bloom.Viva...The flower movement.
