Sad little rose bud
Never got to bloom,
Missing the moment
To take Anais' advice.*
*Anais Nin's famous quote: 'And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.'
'There is this atmosphere of sacredness about your blog. Like entering a monastery from a busy sun-lit street' ~ Altijd-Lente
Ohh ... Lots of people in the world like this ... What a sad wee story :-(
ReplyDeleteI know... I feel sad every time I see it... Always makes me think of Anais' quote...
DeleteYou know, this was me for so long. I love that quote. A few years ago it was my mantra.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Rachel! I kept opening a little, and closing again...
DeleteThis year feels different - maybe I've decided 50 years as a bud is WAY too long!
Maybe I'm just a late bloomer :)
