When we plant a rose in the earth, we notice it is small, but we do nor criticized it as “rootless and stemless ”. We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed。 一粒微小的玫瑰花籽被植入土壤时，我们并不因为它无根无茎而加以批评。我们把它当做一粒种子来对待，施予它所需的水分和养料
When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don’t condemn it as immature and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and five the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.
当它刚刚破土而出的时候，我们不因它幼稚、发育不良而诋毁它；当出现花蕾时，我们也不因为其不绽放而责备它。在它成长的不同阶段，施予它所有的照顾。我们会惊喜地目睹整个过程。
The rose is a rose from the time it is the seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it perfectly all tight as it is.
玫瑰，从一粒种子开始到凋零直至死亡，始终是玫瑰。在它生命的每时每刻，体内都蕴藏着巨大的潜能。它似乎总在不断变化；但是在任何阶段，任何时刻，都是最真实，最完美的。 下载 (267.11 KB)

A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing——a flower in the process of expression its potential.
一朵花，在每一阶段都是相同的，无论是尽情绽放的花朵还是含苞欲放的花骨朵，都是这朵花——一朵时刻展现自己潜能的花。
