Fleurish
End of May, foxgloves climbing and wild azaleas oozing their sweet aromas, ferns and rhododendrons entwine among redwoods, and thickets of wild rose and blackberry sweeten the dusk light. Juicy stalks, sprawling tendrils, leaves unfurling, buds inviting, and the whole earth is erupting in lush beauty and splendor as if all life depends on this. For if,……. we dare imagine the earth without flowers,….. we would surely die.
