There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Barefoot in the Orchard
One of my favorite memories was walking barefoot in our apricot orchard. That was years ago, and it's still one of the first things that comes to mind when searching my life's memories.
It is unbearable for me to think about my beautiful orchard and the many others that surrounded it now only exist in my memory -- long ago replaced by houses. I prefer to keep those images in my mind as if it were only yesterday...
It's a beautiful summer morning, I'm 12 years old, outside my cat Peewee (a big yellow tabby with a bobbed tail) greets me. I head straight out into the orchard. The branches overhead hang low and heavy -- and the sweet smell of apricots fill the air. Running faster and farther with each step -- the seemingly never-ending rows of trees stretch out before me. I can feel the warm sun on my face and the cool feel of the dirt under my feet. ~

A beautiful pairing of words with the stunning pink Magnolia!
I love this!! I'm going to put more effort into my own transitions. :)
A great message for kids going off to college, don't you think? : )
That's funny that you should mention that - this is the quote I gave my son Ben in a letter I wrote to him before he left for Sacramento.
:)
I love this quote - I think it is time for me to blossom....
