Put one rose in a vase and place it in front of you. If you can be bathed in sunlight while doing this exercise, so much the better, Take time to really look at the rose, to see its intricate beauty. Look at the way the petals fold in on one another in a complex pattern of spiraling beauty. Gaze into the heart of the rose. Take time to really see it and savor the sight. See the shimmering life of the petals. Image the cells growing, expanding, multiplying. Feel the life force of the blossom. Imagine the garden where its life began, the way its death can feed other roses through the gift of compost. Imagine the hands that worked to grow the rose and bring it to you. Think about your life as a rose unfolding. Experience the rose with all your senses.
--The Art of Encouragement; Candy Paull
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in this life has a purpose
