Is the withering of the flower bad?
Is it wrong that I feel lost and sad?
Are decaying petals called weak?
Is a broken heart diagnosed as sick?
Day comes in and day goes by.
The body feels different things at different times.
I let myself be right where I am,
The experience is most raw when it has no name.
I noticed a magic at the garden today,
Instead of the flower, a tiny pepper was there.
The process moves and unfolds free and undefined.
For the essence to be born, the flower must die.
I am too, a living plant, mainly trying to be rather than become.
And I put my faith in the process of constant changes under this sun.
<- My vegetables are growing and I am too
