Welcome!
This site is made possible by two caterpillars who because they mistake the meaning of their urge to get high, get entangled climbing a horrible "caterpillar pillar." And for two caterpillars, we all know, surrendering to the cocoon is the only way to finally fly. All over the world this parable has brought new hope.

Hope For the Flowers celebrates HOPE. My wish for you is that your hope is strengthened in these difficult times and you find your special way to bring peace to the whole world.

Please visit again soon for more information about what is happening with the HOPE movie project.

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to present a workshop at Bioneers by the Bay in New Bedford, Massachusetts and saw the new film "Fresh," directed by Ana Sofia Joanes. First check out this video Ana shot at Bioneers, then check out the related images, links, and videos lower on this page.

I look forward to bringing you updated information on what is happening with Hope, its sequels, and movement toward realizing Hope in movie form. We will also be adding videos and other new features in the near future. Meanwhile, please feel free to join our Facebook page.

If you want to be on my current email list about all sorts of current issues, contact me at inhopealways@gmail.com.
