You love the roses – so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!
George Eliot’s poem appeals to all who are able to imagine and dream a field of rose petals ~ pleasurable, silky, and full of fragrance. For a moment, her poetic image becomes real to us.
“In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.” ~ Federico Fellini
Remembering the truth of FeFe’s observation, when the road of life gets patchy, we can practice creating or recalling beautiful images to uplift our hearts and spirits.
May June Rose be such an image for you.
This month’s featured image ~ JUNE ROSE ~ is available as a 8″ x 10″ photographic print for $20. Professionally processed with a luminous, iridescent finish. Free shipping.

“If you take care to look at one bright spot such as a beautiful poem, a melodious music, a wonderful episode in your life or another’s, and keep attuned to it with the intention of purging away the blues and increasing the inner state of joy, the spark can turn into a glow, the glow into a flame, and the flame can ultimately become a conflagration of joy.” ~ Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati
“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” ~ Mary Oliver
