A Rose

12/06/201204/23/2014 ~ Yvonne Raphael ~ Leave a comment

How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of Light its being: otherwise we all remain too frightened.

Thich Nhat Hanh: “The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. “Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.”

"And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul." Stanza 2 of Walt Whitman's A Noiseless Patient Spider
