He was working carefully, his hands inspecting the rose bush with tenderness, here and there his eyes checking for any disease that might prevent its blossoming. Gazing at the hedge roses, my friend simply said, “nurture them.”
A week later the buds opened. Bright and filled with life, the delicate pink roses were a gift of beauty and strength. What was hidden before had become a new life in front of my eyes.
As you go along with the tasks and challenges of your life, do you ever stop and nurture yourself? Do you consider yourself tenderly, attentively, and know how to blossom when the right moment comes?
Take some time to reflect:
Even when challenging times keep you busy,
nurture the growth of your heart.
When paying attention to the life
hidden within your potential,
you will see your life blossoming,
like a flower, your beauty
will come up forward as an offering to the stars.
