In a quiet garden surrounded by concrete, the flowers begin asking a question that many humans quietly carry inside their hearts.

What does it mean to truly feel something greater than ourselves?

In The Flowers Who Tried to Feel God, the sixth book in Vernon Snell’s Concrete Garden series, a group of curious flowers begins to notice the strange rhythms of the world around them. The city rushes. Clocks demand attention. People hurry through life as if time were something chasing them.

But the garden lives differently.

Through sunlight, wind, soil, and silence, the flowers slowly begin to understand that life may not be meant to move at the speed of machines. Instead, they discover a deeper rhythm — one connected to nature, emotion, and awareness.

As the flowers search for meaning, they begin to realize that what many people call “God” may not be found in noise, power, or control, but in the quiet ability to feel — to feel the sun, the earth, time, and one another.

Written in Vernon Snell’s signature Poetic Cinema style, this story blends philosophy, emotional reflection, and symbolic storytelling into a gentle yet powerful narrative for readers of all ages.

The Flowers Who Tried to Feel God invites readers to slow down, reflect, and rediscover something the modern world often forgets:

Sometimes the deepest truths are not heard with the ears — they are felt with the heart.
