I posted this photo on the TLN Facebook page, with the following thought: “In nature, even the end can be beautiful. Perhaps because it’s not really the end? Perhaps that’s what gives people solace – a reminder that nothing ever really ends.”

Here are some responses:

It’s not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end – but it might be the end of the beginning…

…and that spring will always be back next year.

Tulips have the most graceful way of passing on!

There is solace in knowing you can let go – that things don’t need to be held perfect – that it all keeps flowing.
