The shape of this elegant bud, tightly wrapped, holding the mystery of a dramatic blossom hidden within, is like a movie on pause, or an opera singer poised on the verge of a brilliant aria. I smile at the loveliness of its present moment, imagine the full expanse of its potential, and head off to unlock my own.
Love the metaphor the bloom provides…just a gorgeous beginning to the new academic year. :-)

A beautiful description of the bud yet to unfold. I like the optimism here, of imagining its — and your — potential.
