blue roses my tribute to the beautiful blue and the significance of unattainable bliss
Symbolism : Love and prosperity for those who seek, also mystery or attaining the impossible or a never ending quest for the impossible and/or unattainable. They are believed to grant the owner/receiver youth or grant wishes. In Victorian times they symbolized love at first sight or being enchanted by someone or something. In Chinese folklore it symbolizes hope against unattainable love.
why the blue rose. the blue is the forgotten rose. also the most seductive. It has the most important symbolism.
It is my believe that the yearning or desire for the impossible is one on the most important quests one can take on in ones life.
Why?
By doing so we open ourselves up to the wonder of the child's uncorrupted unhindered mind
a way of seeing with the child's eyes A world where all things are possible.
As we grow older our frame of reference often shrinks. The daily suffocating routines of modern life. The un fulfilling job, the incomplete relationships, the diminished expectations, the settling for the mediocre or the just OK. The worst is the accepting of this incompleteness as final truth.
These all add up to imprison the mind , soul, and spirit, killing joy and the sense of wonder.
It's not a fast death, more like sinking in slow motion quicksand. taking a little more each day.
Until your left wondering what the hell went wrong .
The yearning for the impossible or unattainable counters this, by opening us up to 'the just maybe this can happen, maybe these impossible dreams and wishes just might come true. This at once brings about the joy of possibilities,in turn this energizes the mind and lifts the spirits. It breaks thru the torpor. loosening inertia. This state of mind is the real truth.
We are as much what we think as we are what we do. All actions initially start as thought. Lets make those thoughts great ones so what if people think your foolish or childish or any other unnecessary label. Let them suffer in their own limitations.whilst slowly sinking.
SO go ahead and plant a blue rose, and raise a toast to those who desire the impossible for they are the ones who create this world and the ones who you will follow.
One foolish thought done with passion is worth a million common ones
