one day I discovered
that a single rose
on my bedside table
gives pleasure
out of all proportion
to the cost.
I see the rose
last thing at night and
first thing in the morning.
for a fleeting second
I focus on shape
and colour.
floral meditation.
it works for me.

Beautiful sentiments.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not that's what I do when roses bloom here.

ReplyDeleteI've got 3 very similar pink roses in a glass jar (ex M&S horseradish) next to my bed at the moment and they delight me more than I can say.

stunning!
ReplyDeleteAnd what about the scent? It seems roses smell wonderful, or like nothing at all. It is beautiful and I share the same sentiment, a pittance for the pleasure.
ReplyDeletetrade secret time - when I was an impoverished student (I've now progressed to impoverished parent) I could only afford a single rose which I thought would rate as more symbolic.
ReplyDeleteThe special offer on chocolate bars from the buttery kept in my duffel coat pocket was a useful backup.
