The starting point is the author's discernment regarding the name of "the flower". From there, a meditation is offered on the descriptions, encounters/confrontations and the journey implied in existing as human beings in relation to this "flower." A musing in essay form on such notions as meaning, transcendence, suffering, symbols, communion, rites, catechism, interpretation. A text on an eminently personal scale that draws on the author's own reading of works, authors and mysteries.
