A look back at a favorite photograph
from 2020 or 2021
Not everyone is brought up in a flower giving tradition. As children, picking flowers was a normal part of summer. Nobody scolded us about the environment when we made crowns and bracelets with wildflowers and grasses. Nature was free for us to explore, be a part of.
We were careful to not uproot a plant
or pick protected Lady slippers.
There was a large group of them in the 1950s growing in front to the right side of the Louisa May Alcott house in Concord, Massachusetts. They were under large pine trees.
Today, that beauty is now parking spaces.
The stupidity of progress
can be a sad thing to see.
