in which we don't talk about failed milkweed



"Despair is a useless way


Oh, for the want of a better background . . .


of connecting with the world.


Oh, for the want of a better angle . . .


 Slow down

and


Oh, for the want of a better pod . . .


love what there is.

  1. William Kittredge, through you, told me what I needed to hear today, what I needed to remember.

  2. I know I'm supposed to love what there is, but what there isn't here is those beautiful milkweed pods! I remember them from when I was a kid in Ontario and we used to make little doll pillows with the inside fluffy bits...so soft and silky. Lovely pictures.
