TIME

(Photograph taken by Melissa Branigan)

Yesterday is a snapshot that can not be erased
But can be viewed lightly through a softer filter.

Tomorrow is a blank canvas of infinite possibilities,
An outline to be designed with much room for changes.

Today is a work in progress, a continuous creation,
A collage of experiences unfolding in each moment.

~ Karen Chambers

The Rose

Photograph taken by Bob

When we plant a rose in the earth,
we notice that it is small, but we
do not criticize it
as rootless and stemless. We treat
it as a seed,
giving it water and nourishment
required of a seed.
When it first shoots up
out of the earth, we don't condemn
it
as immature and underdeveloped;
nor do we criticize the buds for not
being open
when they appear. We stand in
wonder at the process taking place
and give the plant the care it needs
at each stage of its development.

The rose is a rose from the time it
is a seed to the time it dies. Within
it, at all times, it contains its full
potential. It seems to be constantly
in the process of change; yet at
each state, at each moment, it is
perfectly all right, perfectly OK,
just as it is.
