A Bouquet for You

Christine Snyder Tags: inspiration natural world simple joys

I am currently reading Seeds of Hope by Jane Goodall, and in it she mentions floriography, the language of flowers. Its practice has mostly died out since its popularity in Victorian Britain but some remnants of it still linger. For example, we all know what message is conveyed with a dozen red roses.

I wonder what a little bouquet of this early Spring flower would say to the recipient. Perhaps "It is so nice to see you again, I have missed you.".

I hope to see you in tomorrow's Nature Journaling class.

What are Little Moments you say? This is a once weekly newsletter that I hope is a small nudge or ounce of motivation for you to get outside and observe the natural world. It doesn't have to be grandiose, a small leaf on the ground, an interesting rock, anything you notice that you pay enough attention to casually sketch it or paint it in a journal. All the Little Moments add up to a life lived more observantly, grounded in the natural world.
