You Do Not Have To Choose


“Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose. ” (Robin McKinley)

A subtle balance

So refined

So mysterious 

We are a dance

Of opposites  

A subtle balance 

So perfect

So unique
