"I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity."
Hazel Lee
(btw, in case you were wondering, it's potpourri in my hands, dead flowers) :)

5/52: Fragile - COVID-19 has shown us how fragile our food source is and makes us appreciate being able to buy what we need when we want it. At least we have all the TP we need again :)
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o’ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O! how shall summer’s honey breath hold out,
Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time’s best jewel from Time’s chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
O! none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
William Shakespeare
Sonnet 65
“Notre intelligence, c'est une bougie en plein vent.”

He was too close to my levitating globe, and when the power went out, the world came crashing down on him.
One more butterfly guys. It seems butterflies have some kind of special affinity for me.
Please comment and let me know what you think about it.
Can be so beautiful.
There is a kind of beautiful irony to the way we peak in who we are in our most fragile states..
Like the world is balancing out the good and bad in ourselves.
Under pressure, we perform better,
With age comes wisdom, yet fragility.

darling, time is playing its melodies
escrutiating, making you float around helplessly like a fragile little feather...
What's this urge of mine to live life a million miles per hour?
I'm just a tiny shell running back and forth to the shore.. washed off so easily and faster than I can run..
