Nature has bestowed upon us numerous unexpected gifts, each with a purpose, whether to mend us or impart valuable lessons, bringing forth our best qualities. It is our choice how we interpret these gifts—whether we acknowledge them briefly and set them aside or nurture them, recognizing their relevance to our needs.

For the past four days, a rose has adorned my workspace in a water-filled bottle. From the very beginning, it has blossomed, growing larger and more vibrant. As I contemplate this transformation each morning at the office, I am left wondering: did placing it in a vase filled with water contribute to its full bloom, or did it, in turn, assist in healing something within me? Its delicate presence serves as a reminder of my true nature, encouraging me to be gentle and soft rather than forcing myself into unresolved mental conflicts.

I express gratitude to the Almighty, the creator of this nature, for gifting us such beauty that heals with its freshness, tenderness, and authenticity. It underscores the notion that healing doesn’t always require a foolproof plan or rocket science. Sometimes, by staying true to oneself, a person finds healing. Just like natural entities, whether roses or humans, blossom gradually when left to their natural course. Surrendering and letting go, allowing things to unfold as they are meant to, is crucial. What is in your hands is the ability to perceive and accept events as they unfold according to their inherent design.

Ultimately, every plan, even a meticulously crafted one, may fail. Things unfold according to the grand design of the Almighty.
