This is lovely, Brigit; and very timely and potent for me personally. Roses have held great meaning for me throughout my life. So much so, that Rose is part of my daughter's name, and I have called her Rosebud since she was born. ~ As I am healing and growing older, I am much more appreciative of the thorns. I will be sitting with your words. Thank you for this generous gift!
Such an important message for young women today who are constantly told to be kind, but never with the essential caveat that their kindness must first extend to themselves and their own expectations, needs, and dreams. Without this balance telling women to be kind is just another way to subjugate and silence them.

Such a beautiful piece. I adore the heady scent of 'old fashioned' roses so calming and evocative of my childhood.
