I love flowers! When did you last stop to admire their beauty, strength, wildness... and flowers connect us to the sacred in an unexpected way. That's what we have lost. In today's transactional world everything seems to be measured in strict metrics, while the essence of who we are, the care and compassion, humanity, can not be seen in excel spread sheets or the continuous pushing for faster, more efficient procedures.
And the revelation of the pure evil through the Epstein files can shake up, and needs to wake up everyone to what kind of society we really want to participate in creating for ourselves and our next generations.
"And innocence is what we have been fighting for. It is what was stolen in those files. Not just bodies. Not just childhoods. But the quality of existing without being for something -- without being raw material for someone else's appetite. The flower has never been for anything. It blooms because blooming is what it is. That is its power, and it is precisely the power that predation seeks to destroy: the unbearable fact that something beautiful exists and owes you nothing.
The superfluous, it turns out, is the sacred. And the sacred is what we are trying to protect."
