Whisper to Lace-Spirit of Flower

 

You walked through the shadow of the champa tree

to the little court where you say your prayers,

You would notice the scent of the flower,

But not know that it came from me.......

What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life

 

This book (written by Avery Gilbert) let me know many things regarding

sense of smelling, which is a fantastic journey I have never been.  It reminds

me to pay more attention on the odors. Have you smelled the scent of rain?

I do.  It is hard to describe, something like a mixture of humidity, dust, and

grass, it always shows up in the meantime of rain oncoming.  The scent owns

the power to evoke memories to change our moods and influence our behavior,

such as, I feel relaxed and delighted upon the coffee aroma spreading in the air;

the scene of summer night in childhood suddenly flash upon smelling the scent

of tuberose; smelling the firecracker burned always triggers the happy memories

about Chinese New Year.

 

Loving the scent of flower, flowers talk to world in scent instead of language,

she always whispers in silent, to spread her voice by wind.  However, the

scent of flower is easy to dissipate, so people make the perfume to try to

keep it for more time.  A little bit perfume put on body is great, but a lot of

perfume will be a disaster.  In addition to the scent of flower, I love the

aroma of food----fry garlic, stew meatball in red wine sauce, roast fish

with rosemary, mature passionfruit……..How wonderful they are!  

 

I think that will be less fun if people cannot smell anymore. 

 

 

Whisper to Lace-Grape Vine

 

Grape Vine crawls on the gray grounds,

Sucking…… breathing………waiting……..

To grow up…….to fruit………

Only to praise for the great Dionysus.

 

 

 

Whisper to Lace-Hope

“Hope” is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops-at all

Whisper to Lace-Bella Tuscany

Reading Frances Mayes’ book over and over again, the view of Tuscany was

screened vividly in front of eyes with the tempo of book.  In Tuscany, Frances

see a green sweep of the Apennines, as the wooded slopes angle toward the

valley, olive orchards begin, and mellow stone farmhouses with tile roofs anchor

each farm to the land.  Looking out—looking into Italy! North, south, east, west

is the allure of the whole country.
