The Flowers of Manhattan

I'm reading the book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, by Eckhart Tolle. It's such a profound book that I am actually reading it for a third time. I so often read wonderful books that give me insight for living and rather than remembering those insights and applying them to my daily life, I end up forgetting most of it. This book, though, I want to be different. I'm posting about it today because the first chapter is about the flowering of the human consciousness, and I have some lovely pictures of flowers and plants to post from my time in New York. Enjoy!


A stunning mix of soft and pointy plants
at the rock garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.

Roses my husband bought at a corner
flower stand to celebrate our recent anniversay.

These flowers are blooming on my apartment's rooftop.

This sunflower was waving at me the
day we visited the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
