It’s said that the Chazon Ish once commented that he was unable to look at a rose for too long, as he would get overwhelmed by its beauty.

As I was about to throw the last rose away, I noticed the many petals it had, which were all visible because it was so open. I decided to pull the rose apart and count the petals. By the time I got to the last petal, number 35(!), I was blown away.
