thursday’s special: deconstruction

deconstruction2

When we hold a rose we see that it is composed of multiple elements, some tangible – leaves, stem, thorns, petals, stamens – and others intangible – scent, color, memories. If you were to deconstruct this flower where would you find the entity know as “rose”?

 submitted in response to Lost in Translation’s challenge.

“… the present situation [is] the fruition of former choices…engage it as the arena for what is to come. …embrace the ambiguity of a present that is simultaneously tied to an irrevocable past and free for an undetermined future.*
