A plant that grows
In a very unsuitable climate for most plants
Its survival is very Inspiring to me
Growth from wreckage
—————————
In a way
I have experienced my own wreckage
Where my life ounce was
Is now a site of ruin/ immense opportunity
——————————
The Manzanita story
Makes me wonder
What kind of magical reality
Can I now create?
——————————–
My hope is
That something miraculous
Will come from this
I think I’ve endured enough suffering to warrant a gorgeous reward
———————————
The Manzanita is among the most rare plants
It’s the world’s most endangered and restricted plants
In 1987 only 1 plant remained
And was housed in San Francisco
