crown


There's a vine that appears in Vermont in late summer that's been on my radar for many years. For someone who's interested in wildflowers, I've been lax in terms of finding out what it is. Not 100% sure, but it looks like it's called Virgin's Bower. It's appealing to me because it looks like a crown offered up by the natural world. It seems like every common and ordinary bush or bramble is adorned  for a time by a pearly white tiara; ordinary yet regal. Somehow that seems just about right.

At some point in life, the world's beauty becomes enough.
