Decay.
I am not the best in having plants, caring for them, keeping them safe, keeping them growing.
And still I try from time to time. And now that I'm posting this I have four which seem to get around with me. And two which didn't.
This is one of the latter.
I always shudder when it comes to watch a movie or a picture or even read a book about death, decay and the beauty the artist sometimes wants us to see in it.
I feel uncomfortable and yet often cannot refrain to read on or watch - even if I know it will haunt me.
But this plant showed a perverted morbid grace in being dead.
I am not proud that I could not keep the plant alive, but still cannot nectlect the fact that I am admiring its beauty.
This is a thought from now - but still a reflection of a self from over about 40 years ago.
I haven't changed that much.
