A good friend of mine told me today that he used to watch me with the kids down on skid row...he said as I sat in the filth of the street he knew that I was a "rose blooming from the concrete..."
That is inspiring. perhaps the most meaningful words spoken out loud for me to hear.
Lovely.
However at the same time...I realize that I have become as cold and tough as the concrete, rather than as delicate and meek as the flower...
...I am determined to maybe actually exemplify what he thought he saw in me...
Let us all bloom...right where ever we are planted...be it a beautiful lush green field..or a swamp..or concrete...let us grow and push our way to finally bask in the light of day.
