Day 12: Creepin’ Charlie & Me
I remember living in the city. Spring would come and we Minnesotans would exit our bunkers and start setting up the tiki torches. I remember wanting all .003 acres of our land to be manicured and purposeful – a functional beauty – if you will.
Dandelions be damned and death to creepin’ charlie!
Perhaps it’s age. Perhaps it’s the maturity I’m supposed to have with it. Perhaps it’s not having neighbors whose lawns I’d “infect” with weeds… but,
I THINK IT’S HIGH TIME I MAKE PEACE WITH THE THINGS I’VE PICKED AND PULLED AT FOR FAR TOO LONG.
If the branch bears beauty,
to prune the bloom is madness.

And, as I have discovered, quite soft to walk on…
