Sometimes, certain flower arrangements hold my eyes. I
understand that it is an art to arrange flowers and classes are conducted to
teach flower arrangement.
Looking at a flower arrangement, I am reminded of the person who has worked behind it: the Gardner
who grew it and the artist who arranged it. All of them have played a part in
the goodness of the flowers.
Last week at Coimbatore, in a cozy little hotel, there
were flower arrangements. Flower vases were in my room’s bathroom too. I was wondering why a flower vase was done in
the bathroom. What struck me was that, bathrooms are
more than rooms for bathing; they are also rooms where people think. The point I pondered was not all about the bathroom,
but about the flower vase. “What are
they telling me?” Standing half-dressed and looking at them, I became relaxed…
totally relaxed. I walked back to bed and fell asleep. For some reason, the flowers have a magic to
relax people and I am convinced about it.
