The rose is a woman.
When you first see the rose bud, on a dewy morning, it only reveals but a few of its outside petals.
If you nurture it and give it time and room, it will grow. It will slowly and seductively reveal more petals. Each one adding to it's complexity and its's extraordinary beauty.
If you have patience you will be treated to a new petals each passing day. Each one changing the whole bloom into something different and somehow more complete.
If you look away too long, if you get distracted, or if you pay too much attention to your self, the rose will unfold and expose all its beauty to the world and be gone.
