BECOMING BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMS

“I love to see people blossom,” actor Roger Rees once said. And it’s true, that humans are like flowers in this way -- especially when they are very young and full of hope and potential. But we all have capacity to form buds -- ideas that will blossom. We all can be reborn and start again.

We’ve gathered a collection of quotes and thoughts that inspired us to become beautiful newbies again -- to develop new beginnings and to grow. Check them out below.

― Suzy Kassem, “Rise Up and Salute the Sun”

― Melody Lee, “Moon Gypsy”

-- Max Muller

“When the flower blossoms, the bee will come.”
