Hugging a flower
Those of us who tried to hug a flower, over time learn that our infinite love and admiration towards it should be exercised through the gentlest of our touch, lest the flower will get crumpled and withered. Herein lies the beautiful paradox: gigantic intensity lies in feather-like tenderness. Firmest grounds are built upon softest foundations.
When we hug our beloved this way, he or she is bound to bloom like a flower. Without knowing how to love a flower, we can never know how to love a bird, man and a beast ~
