Quotes
-
Nurtured by nature, it blooms beautifully, and after undergoing nature's trials, a time of rich fruition arrives. It is the endless form of nature, and it resembles the growth period of women, where one feels the song of life in the mystery of nature's workings. Beautifully blooming flowers captivate and delight the human heart, and fruition is the hymn of joy gained through trials.
