Love is
a mirror
you see nothing
but your reflection
you see nothing
but your real face.
—Rumi

Miss Rosen’s extraordinary blog never fails to uplift, inspire and enchant. Just had to share Miss Rosen’s beauty with you. Our ability to perceive beauty helps us survive. So much love to you, XO

Thanks for sharing this beautiful blog… it is really kind of you to do so.
Best of wishes for you and for all your beloved ones
“Our ability to perceive beauty helps us survive.” So very true…The hardest beauty is seeing our own beauty. Fortunately in the eyes of God, we are all perfect. J
True enough and it is described beautifully.
thank you for this. i’ve been a little distrustful of that word. “love.” am re-building the picture of what it is; what it might appear like. i trust someone with an eye such as yours to recognize a piece of it when it passes by. this piece fits. for this reference, thanks again.
Thanks, so much, for sharing. Awesome.
lovely stella marr thank you
And very nice it is.
I would like to argue that love is BETTER than a mirror, because you see the best of you through your partner’s love (hopefully!) <3
Beautiful share. It’s so important to remember where love emanates.
powerful
“Our ability to perceive beauty helps us survive.” An excellent line and true. Well written!

You are an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing those beautiful words by Rumi. So true, and yet, sometimes so hard to remember. Kudos to you for the good work you’re doing. Take care of yourself and God bless you.
I love me some Rumi! Thanks for sharing.
Some more Rumi for you, which I am sure you can relate to: “Truth is in the look of your eyes / In the thought of looking / Nearer to you than yourself / Or things that have happened to you. / There is no need to go outside. / Be like melting snow / Wash yourself of yourself / A white flower grows in the quietness”.
Dear Stella, I’ve just nominated you for the “Inspiring Blog Award,” because I think you have transformed a very human horror into something beautiful and at the same time instructive. Your brutal honesty strikes a chord with everyone, because deep down we have all been there in our own ways.
