Musings on Blossoming

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Can we blossom on command or at a fixed time, can we be forced to do so? I wonder. It hurts one's potential if they are forced, I think. There is a limit when it comes to pushing people. Some people don't see that, and inadvertently tarnish what could have been beautiful.

The difference between those who have blossomed and those who remain tightly in a bud, is it visible to those around us? I guess it depends on the person. You can see it on the outside with certain people. The ones who are still buds, sometimes you can see it in their eyes. Their eyes say, "I'm not ready."

If an opportunity for possibly blossoming arises, should it be taken? The obvious answer is yes. The hesitation shouldn't exist, but it does.
