A Rose


Yesterday while I was studying my wife brought me a beautiful pink rose from our garden.  She had placed it in a simple hand made clay cup that had been wood fired.  This morning while studying I happened to glance at the rose and its beauty captivated me completely and I at once examined it as a young lover would examine the body of his beloved.  It was at that moment that a tinge of despair blew gently against my heart and I knew with full reality that neither I nor any human could ever truly create a work of art.  In a small rose bud is the declaration of the cosmos that real art is the realm of the Devine and God will allow no man to venture there.
