Cosmos, Again

…the only thing that keeps us going is love. I knew it then like I knew it was raining. I got a little off balance, the way you do when you’re on a boat. I thought, it’s as if we are all moving through this world on a big old ship, holding on to one another as we cruise up the generous river of life. The water that floats us is always new, yet it flows in the same direction, over the same old sand.

Blanket flower (yep, gaillardia again)

Sure, I move this body around every day but I’m not actually in charge of it, and I have no idea and no control over anything that happens within it. Why are people so terrified of the impending rule of our robot overlords when we have no idea where our pancreases are?

Trumpet vine

We cannot have everything; there must be sacrifice. If we want wildness, we have to be willing to let go our death-grip on security. If we want total safety, we will be closing the door on nature altogether.
