Craving the Rose?

"But he that dares not grasp the thorn, should never crave the Rose!" Ponder that thought for a moment..... OK, now, absorb the meaning of that quote! Whatever life is, the Rose is quite symbolic of our journey, don't you think? It is beautiful to view, nice to smell the fragrance, the silky petals feel great against the skin, enchanting to realize all the different layers, and still yet, you get the occasional prick from the thorns! Does that make us love the Rose any less?? For me, that answer is NO, actually it makes me respect it even more! Mind the thorns, otherwise they can cause you to bleed! Because of the thorns, we treat the Rose with a fragile touch! The Rose can symbolize life in that very same manner! We should be careful how we embrace life, else we get a taste of our own blood, perhaps become bruised even, by the very essence of it's touch! It is my will, my goal, if you will, to treat life in the same manner as I treat the Rose! I want to admire it, feel it, embrace it, live it, breathe it, sense it and most of all, enjoy all the beauty it has to offer me! For all the beauty that life can offer to us, we must also accept that in embracing it in all it's glory, we must also accept the pitfalls and the craters, bumps and pebbles! We must endure times of hardship, weather the storm, infuse our strength into our losses and NEVER lose sight of the overall goal! Is it easy?? No, not in any means, however, to endure all that the pain encompasses, you must be strong, but in the end, we get to relish in all the beauty and wonderful things that our trials made worthwhile! If we didn't struggle in life, how would we know what was good? How would we know what it means to be happy?? Unless we suffer sadness, we would NEVER know how to be happy! With every single thing that is good, there is also the bad to face! That is how LIFE works, that is how Karma is.....yin/yang, remember! For every good, there is a bad....for every happiness, there is a sadness.....for every day, there is a night.....for every feminine, there is a masculine! Life, in general, is FULL of opposites! What we must acheive, is the talent to make it through our trials so that we may reap our rewards! With rewards though, comes responsibility! We must adhere to the everlasting rule in life.....To ALWAYS maintain some form of balance in our lives! When we get angry and cause pain, life ALWAYS repays us in one form or another! When we seek to help someone in life, Life then rewards us in the same manner! The trick, is to recognize which of the opposites you are causing! I have always prided myself in being strong.....but to become strong and realize that you are, you will first taste your weakness! Life has a way of making you swallow your pride, no matter what that pride consists of! If you are vain, life can take your beauty from you in many ways.....if you are greedy, life has ways of breaking your greed and making you humble! In everything that we do, life has a payback! Where I go with this is to get myself to realize, that in some point of my life, I took advantage of a good relationship, somehow made it sour, and life is merely making me realize that now! I sit here in judgement of myself, wondering where in life I have upset the balance and am now reaping what I have sown.....I must have, for I am tasting a sorrow that I have never known in this life! I was not perfect, am not now perfect, and will NEVER be perfect, however, in this life, I am to take the necessary steps to try and prevent causing pain to others! How do we acheive that?? Remember what I said earlier.......to understand the good, we must first taste the bad......to know how to stop the pain of others, we must first taste that particular sorrow to understand it! In this life, we will learn MANY things, but in order to truly understand what we learn, we must first apply that knowledge! You have read my words many times, have read over and over that my goal in life is to be "enlightened".....well, enlightenment isn't just gaining knowledge, it is knowing how to apply the knowledge in the correct setting! It is understanding that no matter how much we think we know, we are ALWAYS learning! Once our lives absorb all the necessary knowledge, we then start to omit knowledge, sort of strip our minds of what we know in order to get back to our basic selves! Don't understand that?? No worries, you will in time! The last couple of days, I have learned something.......there are REASONS for everything that happens, reasons for why people do what they do........a yin for every yang......perhaps my hurt and sorrow was caused to allow another to heal his own!!! Sometimes, we must clear our lives of all that matters, strip our lives completely so that we can regain some degree of order in our lives! Perhaps that is exactly what was going on......someone was stripping their lives of everything they valued so that they may regain an air of order in their life! I hope I have gained some insight into my own personna, gained some knowledge of how things shall be for me, and better yet, how to apply that knowledge in future reactions to events and make them benefit my life somehow! Many blessings to you, my friends, as I hope that somehow, I might teach others as I learn! I hope that one day, someone can take something from my pain to benefit their own lives! Blessed Be! May the Goddess bless and keep you in her care always! May you always "Crave the Rose"!!! Namaste!
