Life requires quite a bit of dead heading.

It's scary at first. Then, freeing.

Every clip clip clip comes with the possibility of a future bud.

For 9 years this w**d popped up in our landscaping. For 9 years I pulled it out, certain I was acting as a good and fastidious gardener. Weeds were the enemy. I knew this.

Then, one year, I grew tired of the w**ding. I sat on the porch. Had my coffee. Read a book of poetry by Edgar Lee Masters instead. Weeding could wait.

To my surprise the w**ds flowered. Goldenrod, it turns out. Beautiful in gilded relief against our purple flox.

As a gardener, I thought I knew my purpose. Then, just like that, life finds a way to remind me; my meanings meander through life changing in proportion to my openness to discovery.

"George Gray"

By Edgar Lee Masters

I have studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me--
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire--
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
