Daily, a rose walk. "In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea, Sing in their high and lonely melody. Come near, that no more blinded by man's fate, I find under the boughs of love and hate, In all poor foolish things that live a day, Eternal beauty wandering on her way." ~ Yeats

Today, I'm back helping the rosarians at the Rose Garden in Eugene, OR—a small cathedral of scent and thorn. - Sometimes, the seasons of life turn and I find myself back on the compost heap. And sometimes, when her glance finds me again, I am back in the Rose Garden. #Shabestari
