I am getting my first spring 2023 seed catalogs from Pinetree and Fedco. They are not seeds but they power emergence. By emergence I mean a presence, a cyclical power that draws us gardeners forward every year. It doesn’t push us and it isn’t like feedback, after the fact and mean. It is pulls us forward, now and just ahead and scary.
My friend Wendy was commenting in Twitter about a photo I had found on the Santa Fe Institute website:
I’m kinda curious about this as the second image is very close to my chosen zoom background at work. (I attempt subtle commentary by my chosen image) #clmooc

Here is a poem that emerged from the fertile past and present into the future.
Thanks, Wendy.

Your poem, of course, is lovely, but I can’t help but follow the path of the plant against the green backdrop with my eyes …. down, and then up, then over, then down again …
