Looking at the floral arrangement at the lectern, I notice something which most wouldn't...


A perfect white rose hiding from sight!

Somehow this rose caught my eye and I HAD to take a photo of it... Amongst the roses in the whole arrangemet piece, this was the perfect one, and it was hidden from view. The rest were all whilting away, some just damaged from rough handling... made me think about things...

In a senario where everything seems to be decaying, and the only things that can be seen are the hardy accessory plants like ferns and palms looking as they should. Fresh, green and basically boringly dull... Somewhere hiding in all that dullness, is THIS perfect, fragile rose in full bloom... Where it's magnificence is only known to those who are willing to look closer...

It's just like a relationship with someone... At the start of the relationship, everything is FRESH and beautiful... As time goes by, everything starts to decay, fall apart and what's left would be the hardier parts of the exterior like habits, looks and personality traits... Only those who are observant and actually care to look closer at the other person, would find that 'perfect rose' hidden... which is the metaphor for the 'HEART' blooming into it's magnificent form. LOVE does crazy things to a person... it alway make people better in ways not easily observed... The difficult part is finding that hidden 'ROSE' in people...


A huddle of LOVE...
