CHAPTER 2 : Roots

Leon bought lilacs. They are standing in a blue glass vase just to the right of me. Now, two days later, they are showing signs of dying. The white drys burned. The green droops rather than flexes. The brown pales. It makes me rather sad.

Plants are forever in a moment. Each changing to the very next moment, in perfect rhythm. There are moments of birth and rebirth. There are times of budding and times of shedding the most recent layers. From moment to moment, plants grow.

It is also in this way, our spirits grow.
