A lone rose, floating in a pool, hardened edges and discolored, yet still so beautiful. Another soul, brought into this world, a world that can be so cold, yet kept warm by the mother's love. We each have multiple figures in our world who have raised us, inspired us and have kept us safe, fed and calm. But only one has carried us within and then watched us once out. A love that is unconditional and unbreakable...a mother's love. Like a lone rose, standing tall in a vase, like a sentinel watching, guarding and finally, prodding us on our way. If life is fragile and love is so empowering, then it's the mother who empowers us to stand straight, eat a good meal, don't talk too much but don't be too quiet either. Dream, but live and then live that dream. Love, love and never run from it, regardless of your unique definition of what it means, never stop running towards it and never turn away. Is there anything more gratifying and so predictable as a mother's love? Life can be so contradictory and it can expel everything you once held as sacred... You can be wearing clothing that are torn and tattered, smell like a grease trap and look just as bad. Failed at everything and find yourself homeless and alone... She will still take you inside, run you a bath, set out some clothing and cook you a meal, all with that never waning look of love in her eyes. #mothersday #love #zalta #freddyzalta #mom #foreverInstagram
