Question

1. 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.

2. It is frank. It hides nothing of its beauty and 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.

3. 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 it sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things

gathered within itself. And then, kind: it has 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 the real qualities of the flowers. Try to

cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.
