This contribution is dedicated to Anona. She created the garden, planted
and tended the rose until it was time, is time and will be time out of all

...And he went back to meet the fox.
'Goodbye,' he said.
'Goodbye,' said the fox. 'And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is
invisible to the eye.'
'What is essential is invisible to the eye,' the little prince repeated,
so that he would be sure to remember.
' It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so
important.'
' It is the time that I have wasted for my rose -' said the little prince,
so that he would be sure to remember.
'Men have forgotten this truth,' said the fox. ' But you must not forget
it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are
responsible for your rose...'
' I am responsible for my rose,' the little prince repeated, so that he
would be sure to remember.

The rose was cut from the bush in early, bright morning. It's stem was
damaged by a storm on the eve of the millennium. Through the morning I
took three scans, as it continued ;-) through its stages of 'collapse' so
it 'unfolded what enfolded' it.
This is the second 'scan'.
*Living and burning are one*
Make up your own minds ;-)
Love,
