“To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.”
-William Blake
“Rose, you majestic one,
you inexhaustible one,
you who contain the infinite in your smallness.”
-Rainer Maria Rikke
You emerge from shadow
without apology,
a velvet whisper of mystery
unfurling in silence.
Exotic, untouchable,
yet impossibly tender-
each delicate fold
a secret revealed only to those who know how to wait.
you embody quiet resilience,
how to bloom in the strangest places, how beauty can be both fragile
and fiercely alive.
In your quiet extravagance
I see the divine in every hue, the rarest kind of courage-
to be exquisite
without needing to be understood.
Velvet Secrets in fuchsia light and golden fire
In the quiet architecture. of your bloom, a universe unfolds- five wounds, ten petals, a wreath of thorns reaching. for the sun You open without apology, intricate, violet, defiant, carrying the story of suffering and, still, choosing magnificence.
Teach me your wild geometry: how to hold both beauty and pain in the same open heart, how to turn crucifixion into crown. Passion flower... you are proof that the most sacred details are often the most strangely beautiful
“A rose is a rose is a rose”-Gertrude Stein
