I think that is beautiful.

Sometimes, the things that are the hardest to get to, are the ones that are most worth it.

Thank you

Yes, I must agree. But how does one determine that before they shred themselves on the thorns trying to get close?

Perhaps its not the objective that is important, but the journey getting there. But… if that means negotiating a thicket of thorns…

Maybe it means take a little time, akin to stopping to smell the roses. I pick blackberries in the late summer here in British Columbia. Every year I get scratched. I don’t actually mind it. I used to fear being scratched. When we let go of the fear we tecd to accpt the outcome of the possibility of being hurt. In this case scratched by a thorn from a blackberry bush.

Maybe it has to do with Yin and Yang. Both are always present.

I like the drawing. The outer rendering of thistle (thorn) is beautiful.

Cheers Scott!

Jessica Doyle: You know Jessica, thats the second time that I’ve been told that the thorns were beautiful. I find that quite an interesting term to use to describe something that is not exactly stereotyped as “beautiful”.

Thank you for the kind words.

I guess the whole thing makes sense really. Yin and Yang. Without Baubles, what value do Beauties have? They are all part of the whole and the rich tapestry of life.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m honored!
