Survival Story: A Tiny White Wild RosesteemCreated with Sketch.

in R2cornell3 years ago

A tiny white wild rose had taken root in a small soil-filled hollow in a very old rock wall.

Although it had almost no space for its roots, and was entirely dependent on occasional rainfall for nourishment, it seemed to be thriving.

It was a reminder of how we can still make it and grow, even under some of the harshest conditions. And, in many cases, those who have had to scrabble and scrape for every tiny ounce of life often are the strongest.

In spite of its meager growing spot, this little rose was setting dozens of buds.

Makes one step back in appreciation of what we do have, and perhaps focus a little less on what seems to be missing!

Thanks for having a look at my post!
