As an opener, I'd like to quote the rock and roll super star, Sting. Whatever we discuss this month will be wrapped with love for the earth and for each other. In reference to flowers, Sting writes, “…not only must such tiny beautiful and delicate living things be charged with love, but also the inanimate stones that surround them, everything giving and receiving, reflecting and absorbing, resisting and yielding, and I realize perhaps for the first time that love is never wasted. Love can be denied or ignored, or even perverted, but it does not disappear, it merely takes another form until we are consciously ready to accept its mystery and its power. It may take a moment or an eternity.” Broken Music, A Memoir. Love and Light, Lynn
