It is said that Musk Mallow represents foregiveness and a softening of the heart.   In some cultures it is also carried to attract love.  I can't think of a more suitable way to describe these delicate little blossoms.  They find their way into any number of places, including my own heart.  Whether they grow on my lawn, or along a rock wall, they are simply beautiful.  We can all use a little softening sometimes.
 
"Slow down, breathe, and take the time to hear the beating of your own heart.  Let it be joyful, and filled with the rhythm of kindness."
