Walking in the Cosmos
"We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music."
Cosmos flowers, native to Mexico and appropriated for their gardens by Spanish missionaries, represent order and harmony in nature (that ideal of Greek philosophy), as well as tranquility, peace, innocence, and love.

In the upcoming holiday season, we invite you to range over the Voelker Orth museum, Bird Sanctuary, and Victorian Garden, mindful of the words above and the significance of cosmos flowers.
Analyzed historically in the context of the planet, the phenomenon of urban tribes involves the survival of human beings and maintenance of balance among various living things. The discourse thus moves to valuing human nature, preserving multiple cultures, renewing the environment, and honoring the new multi-faceted unity. Myths of universe operation have been recently and swiftly contorted by urban displacement. In pastoral settings, the passage of nature’s simple diurnal imagery held rich mythologies of our environment to be reverenced. Art creators are able to mediate and textualize new connections to culture and most particularly its antecedents.
