TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

“I beheld Thee hiding in a flower”*

” …The mystery of life and immortality lay in the pollen; and Thine infinite touch transfigured the breast of the bee tasting Thy sweetness.

Oh, reveal to me the wonders of creation, Thine endless secrets that even the tiniest roadside weed bears in its bosom!”

*from “Whispers from Eternity” by Paramahansa Yogananda, p. 220.

  6. This is beautiful, Ellen. I especially loved the sense of quiet revelation here, as though the sacred gently unveils itself through the flower, and the bee as well. Yogananda’s words pair so beautifully with your photographs, which carry such wonder and reverence.

    • Thank you, Dee. I think Yogananda is saying that the sacred gently unveils itself in the flower and the bee. I believe it does.
