Each day can be like a rose unfurling
according to the plan of a Power greater than myself.
My program should be planted in the right location,
just as it will need to be groomed,
nourished, and protected from disease.
My planting will require patience,
and my realizing that some flowers
will be more perfect than others.
Each of the petals' unfolding can bring wonder and delight
if I do not interfere
or let my expectations override my acceptance
-- and this brings serenity.
Serenity isn't freedom from the storm;
it is peace within the storm.
