The bud in each of these rose bushes remains hidden, the second one more than the first or the third. It is now over two weeks they are growing slowly and steadily.
A keen observer would have noticed it and would wait for them to blossom. What is a rose bush without its flowers!
Some of us might feel that we are often living hidden and not noticed enough. Those who are loud and make themselves visible seem to get attention.
To remain hidden is also a way of living.
I found recently a craftsman who make serving spoons out of coconut shell. He makes a few dozens of them each day and by the end of the week all of them are sold out. He has regular buyers who come from far away. He remains hidden in a quiet corner, but creates artistic work of rare beauty through those serving spoons.
He reminds us of what was found in kitchens, when steel or aluminium serving spoons were not in the market.
Many of us who are thinkers and would feel like sharing our thoughts might find that we do not have a forum.
I have been writing this photoblog for eight years now and about hundred people visit it on a day. I find expressing myself a worthwhile activity for my mind to grow and interact. I feel hidden but I feel alive! In fact it is when we remain hidden we experience the strength of the gestational time. A baby remains hidden in the mother's womb for nine months. But he or she exists actively and vibrantly to come forth later!
Living hidden is also an active way of living!
