i feel like you would love “the imitation of the rose” by clarice lispector! it’s a story about a woman returning from a mental hospital and having a breakdown at the sight of roses. tangentially related perhaps 🥀
Beautiful. And yay, Kabbalah mentioned! I also will add that in Ladino folk songs roses feature in particular. “La Rosa Enflorese” and “La Novia entre Flores” are the most famous examples.
I’ve always loved the idea of the Rosary. It may be neat to work out something similar but meditating on the 13 Divine emanations of Mercy.
I didn’t know those songs, I will go away and conduct some more research…. 🥀 these are lovely additions — and the elaboration on the rosary — thank you sweet rose x
