The rose doesn't know
that it's beautiful or finite
It just keeps blooming.
+++
No knowledge of past
or future, just the present
No regrets, worries.

So I wish to learn
to live like the rose, and learn
to stay in the now.

““Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
