Live Gracefully

When looking at a white tulip, I wonder if she wanted to be born a different color? There are so many pretty colors out there, why was she given white? Then I realized by spotlighting her that she must know white is gorgeous in the spotlight. She inspires me to be graceful, alive and purely true to myself.
