Thistles and Blossoms Roxanne Gail Hodge

Thistles & Blossoms takes you on a journey of heartache and triumph, not unlike a seedling. The Seed is planted. Sun and rain surround the seedling as it pushes and strains towards the surface, away from the oppression of darkness. The journey is not without setbacks and challenges as the seedling chooses to avoid obstacles or presses through. Anguish and adversities of the trip leave blemishes and scars on the delicately forming petals. During the journey, experiences are gathered and stored inside each individual stem to use in the future. Finally! The end is in sight - sunlight and freedom. The petals burst through the ground and open in

triumph. Beautiful, abundant blossoms welcome the brightness and wonder of life. The magnificence of the flower is breathtaking, and the blossoms bask in the glory of success. The world celebrates a masterpiece in full bloom.




Take the journey and experience joy in the darkness.
