Unexpected
I have a soft-spot for gladioli. One of the most sensually-abundant flowers. Their petals, a hue of flamboyance. Why are gladioli so frequently part of a funeral arrangement? Life & death, equal partners. So, what's the backstory on these gladioli? A month or so ago several green stalks popped up in a patch of dirt in our your patio. I decided to see what nature would offer. Looks like we will have an abundant harvest of gladioli. Whether they will all be this delightfully-shocking pink/purple, is a question for time's unraveling. Stay tuned. I am.

I wonder
Do poppies love their shadows as much as their petals. Do we love our shadows as much as our sorrow?

All four direction lead to the center
and depart from the center. All I can think of is a memory of the first time I saw a peacock in a small, local animal preserve. I must have been 6 and simply marveled at the patterns in the peacock's feather. I couldn't understand how such an elegant creature had such a shrill voice. No rhyme, no reason to that.
