Thank you for teaching me to look a bit closer. Look a bit longer. Both into the light. And into the dark. There are treasures everywhere. Happy Birthday Anne Madden.

You are not a foxglove but as the frail looking fox attempts to trot down the street this morning, in the pedestrian lane looking wounded and mangey I will think of you nonetheless. The fox. Looking at me without concern. Much bigger issues at hand. And then I look at its' hands, its' paws, and I think of you again, though you are not a foxglove.

it was like this when I could not determine if it was a patient unfolding or a protective shutter. the rain falls. i hear the drops land on the plateaus of broad hollyhock leaves. i see it drip off the pointed end of long lilies . i see the water collect in this crevice or in that fold. but not you. you take it in as you need and even with all these hours of steady pouring you do this like you are keeping sun out of your eyes. like you have thrown your arm up over your face. you have your ways and I am so relieved by this.

They were out early collecting water. I notice the small hairs, the tiny points of leaves and petal where water accumulates. Do we use this in water collection?
