"Then through the hymn came another sound like the pain of a million broken hearts wrung out in one full drop, one sob. And a horror of great darkness was upon me, for I knew what it was-the Cry of the Blood..." -Amy Carmichael, Read the whole dream here.
Do you know, there is a lot more to daisy chains than meets the eye, the latin word for daisy is in biology many plants, especially of the Asteraceae family:
ReplyDeleteThere are actually many species, for an in depth look or to include in your coming Bible study feel free to use the following--
African Daisy, many species in several genera native to Africa
Common Daisy, Bellis species, particularly Bellis perennis
Michaelmas Daisy, Aster (genus) species
Painted Daisy, Pyrethrum Daisy, Tanacetum species
Oxeye daisy, Leucanthemum species, particularly Leucanthemum vulgare
Shasta daisy, Leucanthemum x superbum (formerly Chrysanthemum maximum)
Moon Daisy, Leucanthemopsis species

Crown Daisy or Garland Chrysanthemum, Glebionis coronaria
Tricolor Daisy, Glebionis carinata

Gerbera Daisy, an annual flower vaguely resembling the common daisy
Erigeron, the indigenous roadside daisies of North America
In geography, places in the United States:

There are schools one can attend to go deeper into the floral daisy, and then of course, the attaching of daisies into a chain is a fine and wholesome practice. If one does an indepth search on the first daisy chains you can find symbolic references and of course the practical head dress and ornamental uses. There are also deep spiritual meanings in the word chain.... well, I'll take leave her, but don't minimize the importance of a life of study in this ever facinating subject. I would suggest, however, that you find a place more private and away from the distractions of the world. A much higher, almost mystical contemplation can be aquired when alone.
Yours for deep, rich, meaningful, study,
Dad
