the Button Bush. the Glorious Button Bush in fhe 6 years i'd been here, every year, more FULL, more glorious More Butterflies. and then.... I guess this is how it goes. The canal people do this clearing on some maybe 5 yr schedule? She's seen it before....when i arrived here in 2017 she was a small bush. Bigger than this but not what she'd become.
and so....she Begins Again. I think of her roots. With their equipment, they disappear her. But her roots. Her deep self is there. and begins again.
