How did the rose
ever open its heart
and give to this world
all its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
against its being.
Otherwise,
we all remain
too frightened.
– Hafiz
The world needs us all; every heart open, fragrant, bright with the gift of pure being.
May the light of Love rest upon you this day.
May the light of your own beautiful soul be an encouragement to all who cross your path today.
