Complex Simplicity

I was walking through a field one day and out of nowhere a rose bush appeared.  It had draped itself up the side of an old walnut stump, climbing so gracefully toward the sky.  I asked myself how in the world did this thing get here.  The field itself was beautiful, yet the rose bush was the epicenter of it's beauty.  It was a rather cloudy day and a soft drizzle began to fall from the sky.  I don't mind the rain, I actually prefer it, and I watched as drops gently rested on the petals of the queen flower.  I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, smiled. 

After what seemed like twenty minutes, I opened my eyes to the sound of youthful giggles.  Fifteen yards away, where the rose bush should have been, Nicole, Kameron, Trinity, and Mirryn danced and laughed in what was now a steady downpour.  I quickly ran over to join them, my roses...my life.

I am guilty for allowing life to be so demanding and complex at times.  We all take it so serious, when in fact, it's over in the blink of an eye.  With how complex, demanding, and difficult life can be, it's the simplicity in it that makes it worth living.  The only people that I want to have a positive influence on after I'm gone, are the same one's that I want to have a positive influence on while I'm here.  Although life from it's biological core is very complex, the way it's lived should be very simple.  Dance in the rain.-Blink
