It draws me in, slows me down, and brings a smile to my whole being.  If it could talk, I believe calendula would offer me a cup of tea and a seat to sit down in and stay for a while.

Even after the harvest is in, the frost is settled, and the flowers have said goodbye for the season, the thought of calendula brings a calm to me.  So on this rainy day, I pour some tea, breathe it in and smile.

If calendula could talk it would say go ahead, find some peace today.

When flowers talk, it is wise to listen.
