Just love to share these little excerpts that just spring back to my mind...I have been reminded to properly reference all excerpts from other sources, lest, they are mistaken to be my own writing...Just remember the fact that whenever a piece of writing seems really nice or way beyond my league, then know that it has been plagiarized :P... Rest assured that if and when I do plagiarize, it is definitely worthwhile in most cases...So here you go (:
A rose dreamed day and night about bees, but no bee ever landed on her petals.
The flower, however, continued to dream. During the long nights, she imagined a heaven full of bees, which flew down to bestow fond kisses on her. By doing this, she was able to last until the next day, when she opened again to the light of the sun.
One night, the moon, who knew of the rose's loneliness, asked: "Aren't you tired of waiting?"
"Possibly, but I have to keep trying."
"Why?"
"Because if I don't remain open, I will simply fade away."
At times, when loneliness seems to crush all beauty, the only way to resist is to remain open.
-From "Like a flowing river"--Paulo Coehlo
