About
In my late teens, reading a cheap edition of Novalis' "Heinrich von Ofterdingen" bought at a Russian Bookstore (during my Socialist days, maybe I'm still one at heart ) I fell in love with the concept of the Blue Flower; during that period my girlfriend (not very Socialist, her mom worked at the American Embassy :-/ ) and I had some issues and I used to call her my Blue Rose because of how difficult it was to obtain her attention. Years have passed and although she faded into the densest fog of my past, the Blue Flower concept has been kept afloat in my imagination and it has retained its mysticism and meaning. Although I have found my Blue Flower, the ecstasy has not prevented me seeking other "unattainables" in other realms of my life. It's the vital drive to continually improve and grow.

The Blue Flower is a symbol of desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. It has remained a favourite theme among poets and writers; even Goethe looked for it as the "Original Plant" in Italy - it wasn't there ;-)

Enjoy!

Francisco, I very much enjoyed your story! It is a fine flower with appropriate selective focus. The narrow focus adds to the mystique and reinforces your story of elusive metaphysical striving.

It reminds me of the choices we always have to make in life, some of which may bring pain for all or the bliss of change...

PERFECT :)

My warmest hug,

My dear Francisco, this is a work of art, beautiful floral but the words are just as wonderful. They surely speak to me and probably to all, for it is this that we yearn and seek and desire...very thoughtful and a lovely work from you...interesting too because when I opened your image, the words...."and a promise"....came to mind...yes a promise...very nice!! :)
