Il faut cultiver notre jardin.
– Voltaire

There is self to be found
in the planting of seeds,
the art of nurturing,
the glory of growth.

Whether we carefully lay a bed,
or hang our intentions for all to see,
even roadside blooms assert meaning –
that beauty belongs to us all.

Two days after we landed, boxes and all, I fell ill with the flu. Friends and family unpacked while I slept my way through feverish chills and sweats and all the other fun things that come with this bug.
