Remaining Open to Love

A Rose dreamed day and night about bees, but no bee ever landed on her petals.

The flower, however, continued to dream. During the long nights, she imagined a heaven full of bees, which flew down to bestow fond kisses on her. By doing this, she was able to last until the next day, when she opened again to the light of the sun.

One night, the moon, who knew of the rose’s loneliness asked: “Aren’t you tired of waiting?”

“Possibly but I have to keep trying”

“Why?”

“Because if I don’t remain open, I will simply fade away”

At Times, when loneliness seems to crush all beauty, the only way to resist is to remain open.
