Thorns don’t mourn, they just stay as a reminder of beauty lost.
You bump into them when you are not paying attention. When you think you are past it or when you reach for something that used to be easy.
They don’t care what day it is or what is on the calendar. The rose is gone, that must be settled. What is left is a reminder that is sharp and honest. So you keep moving. Life doesn’t slow down because something beautiful didn’t make it. You just learn to carry the weight and get on with it.
Today is National Pizza Day. That makes your Monday night dinner plans much easier.
