Still Life

A Simple Offering

June 4, 2020 by A. Cemal Ekin

Rhododendron bud symbolizing hope and serenity

In flower language, a rhododendron flower says "everything will be better because of you!" It means, there is hope. It offers serenity. It promises a better future. With those thoughts, I offer it to the memory of George Floyd. RIP. … [Read more...] about A Simple Offering
