The Blue Flower
“The desire of the moth for the star, Of the night for the morrow, The devotion of something afar From the sphere of our sorrow.”...
Literature, Nature, Transcendence
Welcome to The Blue Flower! The Blue Flower is a passion project of contemplative writing, an inspirational blog where I reflect on and synthesize observations, ideas, and experiences that heighten awareness, quicken the imagination, and fuel spiritual curiosity. The blue flower is a literary symbol, originating with German Romanticism, that represents a longing for beauty and the transcendent. You can learn more about the significance of the blue flower as a symbol in my "About" section.
You also can follow The Blue Flower on Twitter and Instagram and join our group on Facebook using the social media icons in the menu. I am seeking guest submissions of poetry, photography, art, and essays. I’d love to hear from you! Please reach out!
