A seed does not worry about whether or not it will grow, petals do not worry about falling,
and leaves do not worry about wilting.
Flowers do not worry that they will not bloom. They simply trust.
Trust that there is no rush to grow.
Trust that they don’t need to hang on for any longer than is necessary. And trust that they do not need to look bright and beautiful all of the time.
Because they more than trust - they know –
that they will grow and they will blossom
and they will come back stronger once their winter is over.
And so, my darling, will you.
