Embracing change
To grow is to change, to change is to require different needs and different habitat.
Without change, there would be no novelty; no surprise, and without those fraternal twins, life could feel flat as a postage stamp.
Pictures by Larra. Words by Diane Ackerman in her book “Cultivating Delight – a Natural History of My Garden” that I am currently reading. It’s a good book!
“The kind of book only a poet could write, and only a gardener could appreciate.”

In the rose garden with Rumi
You are my sky, and I am the earth, bewildered:
What makes You constantly flow from my heart?
I am soil with parched lips! Bring kindly water
That will transform this soil into rosebud!
How does the earth know what You sowed in its heart?
You have impregnated it, and You know its burden!
Blood must flow, He said, for the rose garden to flower, and the heart that loves me is a wound without shield.
What was whispered to the rose to break it open last night was wishpered to my heart.
You thought that when your house
was burnt down
there would be nothing left but ash.
But look,
moonlight is dancing on white rose.
After despair, may hopes flourish
just as after rain
thousands of roses open.
Surrender to the Almighty -
and be led into life.
Stop learning. Start knowing. The rose opens, and opens, and when it falls, falls outward.
