Congratulations Class of 2023!

the rose and the pearl

the instructions read:

you will be given a heart —
inside that heart is a rose —
within that rose
lies a pearl

visible only

upon your
blossoming….

to bloom:

plant your feet firmly
into rich earth,

open your arms
to the caressing sun,

breathe deeply
when the winds race to meet you,

bathe daily
in the warm salty water
of your own tears and sweat….

in this way
you will grow enough

and grow strong enough

to
unfurl,

to discover the pearl
that is uniquely yours,

yet not only
for you.

    Dr. Selena Madden I am so proud of you, I know that this accomplishment took a little and sometimes a lot of time, tears, dedication, and hard work… if anyone could do it, I knew that you could. Again I can’t express just how proud I am of you. Congratulations and welcome to the next chapter of your life.
