Seeds

She got me all excited to go someplace new,

so that we could buy seeds

& learn to make our own (hibiscus)tea.

After a bit of a road trip

sketchy gravel roads

& her imitating the banjo theme to "Deliverance "...

our imaginations ran wild.

We conjured up visions of what our lives looked like up ahead.

And we laughed.

And laughed some more.

Then suddenly there was a radical shift in scenery,

and we were just tickled pink by it all.

By beauty.

By life.
