Equality, do you want it? You're not getting it for Christmas
Despite feeling especially weird and fractured and furious with a country and now it seems a state that would like me to die conveniently off (bureaucracy, finances, doctors, catch-22's), I managed to get out of the house this evening with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and a camera.
The heart of a clematis looks like a sea anemone. Or an alien.
Rose season gives way to daylily season.
A couple of roses are still giving their best Georgia O'Keeffe.
I could not manage to take a picture of these hydrangeas that made them look like as much of a Tiffany pattern as they did in three dimensions.
Remember last year when I discovered that we live across the street from slaveholding ground? There's the monument to prove it. History in this country is like tripping over a branch and finding it's bone. Six hundred acres of land and, to begin with, three human beings.
We walked on. We applauded this unknown plant at the end of Governor Winthrop Road.
The foxgloves were blueshifting.
The texture of the petals as much as their color fascinated me.
I am beginning to feel that my life has become a perpetual process of discovering damage I knew I had taken but didn't understand the depth of and I have to say it's a lot more wearying than any process of discovery has a right to be. My brain just stalled out this evening trying to assimilate the idea of people having loyalty to me. That's terrible. I'm not even sure it's Tiny Wittgenstein. It's just stupid.

Yeah. :(
Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures - the last one is so cool! and YAY for the brave little plant growing up through the concrete! do you have any idea if the space around it was pre-existent, or it just started growing on its own and someone cleared the circle of concrete around it to give it room to grow? - and I'm sorry things suck right now.

I may have lifted that image from the Ashkenazi folktale sometimes retold under the title of "The Bride's Finger" or "The Finger," but I still think it's true.

You're welcome! I like how they came out.

It looks to me like the city took out an old telephone pole and the plant popped right into the space it left. I have no idea what it is. But I admire it.

Thank you.
