this was yesterday….Equinox,   its purity and perfection.    It chose to grow in the Garden.    I'd sat with it a long time.

early evening Alyssia came and spent long,  loading some application for photo storage,  something about Cloud, got only partially there and had to leave.   When i opened this laptop at the end of the day there was a black blank screen.   Nothing.  I did all the things someone can do to turn on.    Blank and black.    i walked away.  came back later,  etc.  repeat repeat.  Nothing.   Ok, i thought…it's i think 4 years old,  this chrome book,   maybe it's done.   and then….what is the message then for me?    Slept.  waking around 2am to try again….still.   Lay there, staring into the dark.     the same question….what is the message then for me?     Alyssia called this morning…to see how i was doing….we talked and i automatically flipped it open and there…..

there it was.   as usual.   Whatever it was,  was no longer.    so now…same question.   what is the message for me?

and here we are,   this evening,   this Flower   whose message is pure.   Flower says,   I am.     I grew.    i will be gone.   Sit with me now.

    It’s been on my mind a lot lately…nothing stays the same, change. Maybe we need to look sideways sometimes.

    The gift of this many petaled flower… belated. sometimes is even better because it is unexpected and serves to bring a surprise joy.

    Every day I marvel and wonder at the Purpose of plants. The crabapple tree in my daughter’s front yard, so heavy with millions of tiny vibrant jewel like beads of red. I picked one and took it for a ride in my van and as we passed the many lakes lined with it’s relatives all turning their leaves vibrant shades of autumn, we discussed cycles of life. Pure Joy.
