Humbly serving all with their beauty, flowers say more to us about God than anything else. Each one brings a message that the Heavenly Father is right here. - Paramhansa Yogananda

About The Trinity Bee & Me

The Trinity Bee is a chronicle of my call to ministry and to inspiring the spirit to feel more free. It starts where any busy bee would start -- with flowers. Gathering wildflowers has always been the thing I do to clear my mind and recenter the heart. Making your own wildflower arrangements puts the soul in touch with its own natural artful wisdom. Each bouquet has a little story of how it came to be and what the look and feel evoke for me. Each flower has a story, a healing property, and often a Scriptural connection to the Medicine of the Gospel. Different than buying an arrangement in a store, the art of making your own wildflower bouquets is part meditation, part spiritual artistry, part soul retrieval. This simple practice connects the soul more deeply to place, season, and time's past and to the present moment. In the spirit of Alice Walker's collection of poems The World Will Follow Joy: Turning Madness Into Flowers, The Trinity Bee is the place to inspire others to reconnect with their own divinity.

The Autumn Sunrise

This bouquet was put together on a brisk fall city walk -- all wildflowers found in the city. Yellow Jerusalem flowers, red bramble berries, lavender sprigs, camomile, and bay leaves, or what look like bay leaves. Part of the fun of gathering wild flowers is finding out what they are, though sometimes it's surely ok for it to remain a mystery. These colors call to mind an autumn sunsrise that surprises you with unexpected colors like purple and red as the day ends. Camomile is a delicate flower that has calming properties so you can actually steep these right in some hot water for a fresh herbal tea. A perfect fall day with flowers and tea on the way! Love saves the day.
