PORTALS

Every moment, every second is a moment in your life, every time you open your eyes, every breath, every heartbeat. In this exact moment, you’re existing. The way I see it is the way a rose grows, from the seed, bud-eyes, rosebud and then it awakens and it becomes a rose. Every wind that it catches makes it grow even more, sometimes it rains and it gets wet then the flower becomes a little sad but the sun comes out and then it blossoms again. Sometimes storms come again and the rose stays pretty resilient, the storm passes by and the rose stays, it looses some petals. It disappears but the seed comes on the ground and it serves as a new beginning for a new rose to grow. The rose hasn’t died, then you realize, each rose is a chapter in your life and even though you have spikes that you develop throughout your life to protect yourself, you still keep growing and growing more and more, some years you have more flowers than the others. That is to me life, doors, openings, closings. Sometimes, we do not have control over some of those chapters so all we can do is to practice acceptance about everything that goes on in our life as well as letting go, because just like rain comes on the rose, that too shall pass.
