Believe

We moved to our current house last year. The journey from the old house to this one was filled with many tears and sighs, for reasons I won't get into the depths of. After living a few months in this house, I started liking it. We have a small backyard and since we don’t do any gardening, it’s not in a good shape at all, but it surprisingly has a rose bush. It never produced any flowers for the entire last summer, so I reached to the conclusion that it's not a rose bush and I'm mistaking it for some other plant. But just a couple of months ago, two flowers appeared on it - roses! I would look at them everyday and hope they'd survive and the bush would produce more roses. Although it was only those two roses, they changed the whole outlook of the backyard. Upon stepping outside, the eye would only focus on those two roses and ignore all the weeds and other overgrown bushes. No other flower ever appeared on the bush again, but those two roses did surprising things for me – they gave me hope! If flowers can appear out of nowhere after so long, what can stop them from growing again? And if that can happen, what can stop good things from happening? Things happen on their own and everything has a fixed time of occurrence. “And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should” – Max Ehrmann.
