"When we plant a rose seed in the
earth, we notice that it is small, but
we do not criticize it as 'rootless
and stemless.' We treat it as a seed,
giving it the water and nourishment
required of a seed. When it first
shoots up out of the earth, we don't
condemn it as immature and
underdeveloped; nor do we criticize
the buds for not being open when
they appear.
"We stand in wonder at the process
taking place and give the plant the care
it needs at each stage of its development.
The rose is a rose from the time it is a
seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all
times, it contains its whole potential.
It seems to be constantly in the process
of change; yet at each state, at each
moment, it is perfectly all right as it is."
