You are not obliged to be beautiful You don't have to shine. Blooming will happen when it happens. If you can be still for a moment you might notice that the roots that feed you are still reaching silently through the dark.

'Tis a fearful thing To love What death can touch. To love, to hope to dream, And oh, to lose. A thing for fools, this, Love, But a holy thing To love what death can touch.
~ 12th century poem quoted by Francis Weller in THE WILD EDGE OF SORROW
