The Art of Flower Arranging by Thich Nhat Hanh available on iTunes and CD

"Beauty is the aim of our art, of our action. We want to arrange flowers because we want life to be beautiful. If you take care of your flower you will become fresh, smiling, and you will recognize people around you as flowers too. In that way you have been rearranging these flowers, making them smile again."

In this classic 1989 talk, Thich Nhat Hanh uses flower arranging as a metaphor for establishing harmony in ourselves and in our family.
