The Flower Who Tried to Feel GodA Poetic Cinema Story from the Concrete GardenBy Vernon Snell

In a garden growing through cracks in hardened concrete, one flower begins asking questions that no one else in the garden seems interested in answering.

While the other flowers focus on sunlight, rain, and survival, this curious flower begins searching for something deeper—something unseen yet present in every breeze and every beam of light.

What created the sun?What moves through the wind?And can a flower truly feel something as vast as God?

Through symbolic storytelling and poetic reflection, The Flower Who Tried to Feel God explores curiosity, faith, awareness, and the quiet human search for meaning.

Written using the Poetic Cinema storytelling method, the story unfolds like a cinematic scene in the reader’s imagination. The garden becomes a mirror of life itself, where every petal, shadow, and moment carries deeper meaning.

This story speaks to readers of all ages:

• Children who wonder about the mysteries of the world• Adults reflecting on spirituality and inner awareness• Readers of poetic and philosophical literature

Part of the expanding Poetic Cinema Archive, this book reminds us that sometimes the most important journeys are not the ones we take across the world…

They are the journeys we take within ourselves.
