Each petal bears hope aloft.

I remember the story of Pandora's box wherein all the world's evils are let loose. The last thing that was set free was Hope. It was a force of good to stand against the darkness.

In the darkest hour, hope can sometimes be a delicate thing that flutters and is carried by the winds. A single petal has been set free from this flower. It offers the weary butterfly respite from it's toils. Each petal of the rose has the strength to carry hope. Hope is carried aloft so that it's healing touch can branch out far and wide.

PM me if you are interested in the behind the scenes on how I accomplished the photo (I know some don't like spoilers that dispel the magic)
