Welcome!


In the 2023 Academy Award winning short animated film

The Boy, the Mole. the Fox and the Horse,

  the mole asks the boy what he wants to be

when he grows up.

The boy's immediate answer is, "Kind. "


Caring for others is found in

the children's book

Can Dragons and Frogs Ever Be Friends? 

Forest Squirrel pleads

with his friend Beach Bird,

"The dragons and frogs need to be friends. 

Why can't the dragons get that and stop chasing and eating the frogs?"

The Great Forest adventure goes on to tell the story of enemies becoming friends.



As 'floral' means flowers and

'grace' is "the free and unmerited love of God"

(1828 Noah Webster Dictionary),

this website

Floral Graces

is a collection of flowers labeled

with immortal ideas from  divine Love.


Moving beyond 'kind' and 'friendship,' dozens of immortal qualities are defined. 

Emphasizing them in your life

reveals harmony

as negative thoughts

are cancelled and replaced with

qualities based on good.


Visit often and learn to see and be

 your immortal selfhood.
