Simple, straightforward, and true, the daisy flower reminds me of the girl next door in teen movies. She’s just there, being herself and a friend, while the male protagonist is gaga over the breathtaking rose at school who is stuck on her own looks.
Sometimes we are blind to what is right in front of us. The daisy grows wild in the field, with the wind blowing through her petals. The essence of this flower is purity, innocence, and freedom. It’s no wonder that during the hippie movement in the 1960’s, daisies were common in floral crowns worn by women.
Be true to yourself, be authentic, and be real. Your will set your own soul free and the world around you will feel it.
