This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 02, 2007:
The realization that everything is the perfect expression of that which it is. A rosebud is not an imperfect rose. It is a perfect rosebud. So it is with the present and the future. There is hope, because the future is inevitably the perfect expression of that which it is as well. 'Future' is but another name for a rose - which, as you know, smells just as sweet by any name we would like to call it!

Rob… Interesting synchronicity. A few days ago, I was thinking about the unfolding of a rose as a parallel to the unfolding of spiritual progression.
The rose unfolds effortlessly as a consequence of what it is. It's a natural progression - a small echo of, and part of, the greater unfolding of creation. Gracefully, it allows itself to be a part of this, without resisting, bowing to the Divine Will of Creation as a bud, a bloom, and then even to the point of wilting.
If we were to completely surrender ego and bow fully to Divine Will in humility, our own unfolding would be as effortless as the rose's. And yet, all is as it is, perfect… and God is eternally patient, waiting for us to realize that we're roses.
Beautiful description Tim. It captures both the urgency and the eternal patience that is part of our own continual becoming.
