Edna smiles that radiant smile of hers. With her bare toetip she lightly taps a tiny bloom in the grass at her foot.
"Is a flower essential to the Universe?" she asks, "Some folks'll tell you, 'Oh, no It's just a flower! It lives and dies in a day or two. What does Creation need that silly little flower for?' "
"Well, I tell you, that little tiny flower…you see it there by my toe…that little white one, no bigger than an earring… That flower is essential—that's right, I'm telling you, essential—to the whole wide Universe, same as you and me and everybody else. We're ALL essential, each and every one of us!
"Why, without that tiny little flower there it'd be a different Universe, a different Creation, not this one we have. D'you understand? So THAT's a mighty power, don't you think? One little flower can change the entire World! Just like one person can!"
