I had forgotten this quote, until today when I found it while going through more of my mom's papers. I'd written it down in a card to her and she'd saved it.

Most of you know enough about me, to know I am not religious, rather, spiritual. I have always just thought of it as speaking of the Universe, so please do not be offended, one way or the other, by the use of the word, "God." Thanks, kat

"The Wisdom of God has graciously bestowed a Rose upon us, which...stands in the Center of Paradise; flying from the spirit of this world...we find the Essence, and its Roses blossom in the Wonders."
