About This Quote

The beauty of the rose is that it falls quickly. If you think about it, every rose turns into a rose-leaf. When you look at the rose it’s still there, but when you look at the leaf, it’s on its way to becoming dirt. Knowing this, we are reminded of the shortness of life. If you are content with living life one day at a time, you can appreciate each day for what it is without getting too caught up in the future or the past.
