The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. but the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, i suppose. the dear only knows what will next prove a rose. you, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose.

There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. from the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. and then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. and singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. but, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. the thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and god in his heaven smiles.

All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. it is vain to hurry it. by trusting it to the end it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.
