Evening, Wisdom and Beauty
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
~ Anais Nin
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin
Rocks of the ages,
Jagged and huge
tough barriers
holding up
through the years....
A lashing of rain,
Erosion in a groove
of the rock face,
and the
water trickles,
drops,
flows,
deep into the mind,
somewhere,
zigzagging across
willing itself
to
see the Sun again
as it feeds the roots
of
something,
trying to grow
and bloom,
green and clean.
Sometimes,
the toughest
and the strictest,
minds
have a secret soft corner.

Beautiful flowers. On behalf of the ABC Team, thanks for participating.
The image of the white flowers is very charming, Sylvia! Nice quotes by Anais Nin, I find so true the first one!
This is a beautiful picture and I really like that first quote. It contains a lot of truth.

Beautiful flowers! Old age seems to be getting futther into the future.
I love the second quote. It's perfect for late bloomers, like I was. It was about age 40 that I just burst out of my too tight bud with a sudden rage. The years have diminished the rage, thank goodness, but the hot core is still there.
Once again, an amazing poem by your personal poet,Ugich.
Hmmm...so without love does one get old before their time? I wonder it that is why single people die before married people.
Interesting post.
