Thorns of the Rose


"Let him only see the thorns who has eyes to see the rose." ~ Tagore from "Stray Birds"

When we awaken to our Self, we not only realize the beauty surrounding us but know that without contrast we could not recognize that beauty. When we say "this too shall pass" it's usually while we're in the midst of the thorns, but to accept that "this too shall pass" as we gaze upon the rose, knowing that it will wilt and die and be reborn into new life, is to achieve peace.
