The Scent

   The scent of narcissus, clean running water over mossy stones, the wind gently blowing through green leaves

The Story

   The narcissus is not a simple flower. What does it mean?

   A legend of a beautiful man destroyed by vanity. Is this true? What lies beneath? Realities dim as the world grows old, convention is laid over truth but the truth remains.

   The ancients believed that the eye was the window to the soul. Looking into anothers eye was to know that person truly a dangerous pursuit. The narcissus flower was thought to represent the eye. Where is the link from man to flower to eye?
