The title of my blog refers to the song from The Sound of Music. I admire the song for its dedication to freedom in the face of advancing totalitarian forces. The alpine flower, edelweiss, is used in the song to symbolize freedom.
" . . . blossom of snow
may you bloom and grow,
bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
bless my homeland forever."
From Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.
