THE TERMS FOR MANY PEOPLE OF VARYING NATIONALITIES TOGETHER ARE AS FOLLOWS. PLURALISM, DIVERSITY, CROSS-CULTURALISM, CULTURAL DIVERSITY, ETHNIC INCLUSIVENESS, MULTICULTURALISM, ASSIMILATION & AMALGAMATION.
I FIND THE ACT OF THESE TERMS TO BE WHOLESOME & MEANINGFUL BUT IT DOES NO JUSTICE FOR THE GREAT SENSE OF LOVE I RECEIVE, IT PAYS NO HOMAGE TO THE VALUE THESE COMMUNITIES BRING & IT LEAVES A STARK REMINDER OF THE FACT THAT ONE HALF & MORE THAN OFTEN BOTH SIDES OF OUR ANCESTRY WAS NOT PART OF THE PICTURE OF INCLUSIVENESS.

SO I REFER TO MY FRIENDS, FAMILY & ALL OF MY LOVED ONES THAT EXIST SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN AS FLOWERS.

AND WHEN MY FLOWERS GET TOGETHER, WE CREATE A BOUQUET.
