About this episode

The episode reflects on the pleasant feelings evoked by the dianthus flower and the importance of greeting others kindly.

The small red flowers of the dianthus give me a pleasant greeting as I spend a little time with it in the Ormond Garden. It reminds me of how I feel when I receive a pleasant greeting from people I know or people I don’t. The flower also inspires me to greet others pleasantly. I may never know how much this little act of kindness means and inspires others. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show
