Flowers, cont.

People are usually pleasantly surprised when I wear 'real' flowers on my person. This is, after all, not Hawai'i, and the most common comment is usually appreciation for trying to bring the Spring on.

Here's the thing - living flowers are a mutual adornment. They get much more attention when they're on me, then when they're in a vase on my desk. Indeed, I get much more attention when they're on me than when they're in a vase on my desk. They ornament me, I ornament them. Sort of what living is all about - making connections between every damn beautiful thing, which is just about everything anyway, and sharing that with other people.

Sometimes I'm sad because I feel that's all I get to share, flowers in my hair - but at least it's something.
