"flowers are a proud assertion

that a ray of beauty outvalues

all the utilities of the world"

-ralph waldo emerson

every now and then, don't forget

to stop and smell the roses

the time of relaxation, friends, and life itself

i'm ready; are you?

change

just as the seasons change, so do our lives.

well, what if we are afraid?

what if we are already satisfied with the now?

in the words of marilyn ferguson, maybe

"it's not so much that we're afraid of change

or so in love with the old ways,

but it's that place in between that we fear...

it's like being between trapezes...

There's nothing to hold on to"

if we recognize this fear + embrace it,

maybe we won't be so afraid anymore.
