In relationships, the friendship is like the stem and the romance is like the blossom. Quote of Marianne Williamson, from audiotape, "Relationships" Printed with permission. Picture of lots of small rose flowers in the shape of a heart with with a single rose flower in the middle showing it's thorns. Goes along with the good and bad in relationships, friendship, romance. Reminds me of the quote by unknown author, "I'm so glad thorns have roses". Philosophy, humor, bright side, inspirational, uplifting. Designed, commissioned and colored with marker and colored pen by Lee Serenethos. Drawn by John Wampler.
