a note from the editor

Efflorescence is the state in which a flower blooms.

In this issue we celebrate the beauty of a blossom and all that it can symbolize. We can relate the peaks and valleys we face in life to the cycle of a flower.

When

we are joyful we radiate the same type of

rejuvenating energy that a blooming flower does.

And

in our darkest moments our inner self can become

visible for all to see, much like a diaphanous blossom.

When

the bloom dies, we need to always remember that

seeds for new flowers are being created.

One

bloom can make a hundred seeds

Malorie Shmyr,

-

eternal renewal.
