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 Lakeside Lovely

Fall does not usually call to mind blossoms but on this late autumn lakeside walk I found the most lovely little collection of flowers reminiscent of an enchanted Indian Summer. Spikey purple asters, dandelions, baby's breath, lavender, blue spruce sprigs, and a few others I have yet to identify make for an energizing array of colors on a damp early autumn day.


It seemed to pair nicely with pinecones, which are a nod to the coming winter. Pinecones too represent a connection to the pineal gland and enlightenment --- a Christian symbol that is easy to overlook!


 I also found some sweet pears on a tree and a collection of rocks by the lake that made for a wonderful earthy arrangement for this season of transition from summer to fall-- looking forward to the seasons ahead. An eclectic mix of textures made hunting for and arranging The Lakeside Lovely bouquet a perfect way to to spend a cold rainy fall upstate New York day.
