Philosophy in a Peony

When life presents us with a big enough problem

it can feel overwhelming

Like it's taking over our whole world

We tackle it as best we can

If we're lucky we get some help

As the problem opens itself up

for our scrutiny

We find many possible

reasons

answers

solutions

questions

In viewing the problem as a whole

we may not know where to begin

or when it will ultimately end

But it's important to remember

Problems are as much a part of life

as everything else

And sometimes,

it's only in the midst of a problem

That we discover the true beauty of life
