Rose petals unfold according to a geometric code
that is
As precise as it is sacred.
Who would prefer the mutilated victim of petals
prematurely forced Open, to the perfect beauty
Of
nature’s patient unfoldment.
Unnoticed these days, petals of potential
Wither at the feet of unnaturally forced child-blossoms,
Depriving roses-in-the-making.
When we subject a child’s development to premature
forcing,
It behooves us to think of rosebuds.
Where there is love, there
is no imposition.
Albert Einstein
