Be like a flower. One must try to become like a flower : open, frank, equal, generous and kind. So you know what it means ? A flower is open to all that surrounds it : nature, light, the rays of the sun, the wind etc. It exerts a spontaneous influence on all that is around it. It radiates joy and beauty. It is frank. It hides nothing of its beauty lets its fragrance flow frankly out of itself. What is within and what is in its depths, it lets it come out so that everyone can see it. It is equal : it has no preferences. Everyone can enjoy its beauty and its perfume without rivalry. It is equal and the same for everybody. There is no difference or anything whatsoever. Then generous without reserve or restriction, it gives away the mysterious beauty and the very own perfume of nature. It sacrifices itself entirely for our pleasure, even its life sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things gathered within itself. And then, kind : it has such a tenderness, it is so sweet, so close to us, so loving. Its presence fills us with joy. It is always cheerful and happy. Happy is he who can exchange his qualities with real qualities of the flowers.
