All the Light We Cannot See

The Dried Rose: An Invisible Connection

The rose in front of me, though dried, is a symbol of a connection that goes beyond appearance. An unexpected gift from an unknown client, an act of devotion, it brought with it not just a flower, but a hidden energy one that we often do not see. This rose, which I have preserved in my Tantra book, is not just a decorative item, but a point of connection. While taking a photo by the lake, holding the rose in my hand, the sun began to reflect off the water, creating sparks of light that captivated me. The rose’s leaves were blurred, but the light emerging from the water just like spiritual enlightenment is intense and palpable. The light we cannot see is that which resides within us, waiting to be revealed through the invisible, through the sacred and intangible.

The Earth: Seeds of Light and Inner Growth

The earth, which is prepared to receive seeds, is another powerful symbol of growth and transformation. In spring, the earth is treated and worked, ready to be sowed. Just as the earth hosts the seeds, there are invisible seeds within us those thoughts, intentions, and dreams we do not see but that are ready to germinate in our subconscious. Every seed we plant, though invisible at first, is full of light and potential. It is the seed of our inner growth, of our evolution. The light we cannot see is the hidden force that drives us to evolve, that guides us toward realizing who we truly are.

The Tulip and the Cactus: Resilience and New Directions

Finally, the closed tulip, a flower still far from its full bloom, represents a new chapter in life. The red and yellow tulip is accompanied by the nopal cactus, a symbol of resilience, protection, and inner strength. The light we cannot see is the one that slowly emerges, like the tulip that has yet to bloom. It is a light that grows and manifests only when we are ready to face life’s challenges. The cactus, with its solar and protective energy, teaches us that even in times of difficulty, we can find light, joy, and love to guide us through every hardship.

In all of this, the light we cannot see is the one that emerges when we are ready to look beyond appearances. It is the one that connects us, that helps us grow, and that protects us. Every element of nature, every small gesture, every seed planted inside of us, is a reflection of this hidden light, of a potential waiting to be manifested. The light we cannot see is what guides us, inspires us, and leads us to transformation
