A few weeks ago as we were walking through garden fragrances Vickie said, "This is what heaven will smell like." I was reminded of my wife's words today (July 1) when I read the following from Elizabeth Browning, the context is that Adam and Eve have been cast out of Eden, these words are from the Flower Spirits:
We linger, we linger,
The last of the the throng,
Like the tones of a singer
Who loves his own song.
We are spirit-aromas
Of blossom and bloom.
We call your thoughts home, - as
Ye breathe our perfume...
Heaven reveals itself in many ways; in our sense of Paradise Lost, in moments of beauty, in elusive joy, in a sense of longing for something more than the transitory...and in the fragrances of flowers.
