Just as a flower gives out its fragrance to whomsoever approaches or uses it, so love from within us radiates towards everybody and manifests as spontaneous service.
The flower, not tended, soon will die. Just as carelessness and neglect
will rob the flower of its beauty, so too will love be destroyed if not
tended. Hidden away in a dark place, the flower will not survive, and
others will not behold its beauty. Learning from the flower, love, too,
needs tending, and only when allowed to be shared will others behold
its beauty and be enriched by its presence.
