A story of the Rose and its journey to Earth…..

From the timeless realms was a quickening of spirit,
Spiraling sound
Descending into Matter.
And then the angel spoke,
“Out of the fathomless mists I formed thee.
Wilst thou now accept shape upon Earth
That thou mayst supply a service even greater?”
And as it was asked, the Rose agreed…
To reflect to earthbound souls their own lighthearted purity.

And so it was—the seed of the rose arrived on earth,
Emergence of new life stirring, reaching,
Yearning in its journey toward the sun;
Wending its Way through life’s joy and sorrow,
Seasoning and polishing its soul against sharp stone.

Now a rosebud, full, round, crimson, pulsing…
With fragrant pungence of the rose,
Ecstasy of each petal, one by one Unfolding to the sun.
Devas Dance in joyous celebration of soul’s awaking,
Pan’s Kingdoms open their doors in celebration with
Sounds of harps and pipes—at once ancient and new—
Heralding Fulfillment of the dream.
Heart of the Rose is revealed in all its glory,
A rare glimpse into the heart of all.

–Ani Williams 1983
