The Rose

I took this photo of a random rose laying at the side of a pond one day before yoga at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

What's really great about this is the many thoughts, feelings and stories it evokes.

For me it brings to mind the famous image of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet floating down the river in the painting by John Everett Millais.

That work of art always brings me a feeling of peace and tranquility. 

Heading into the day like...
