[julesofnature]

... I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility,

and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy...

and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth.

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

Like little memory chambers in the brain. It's a marvelous pattern.

Борец дубравный - Aconitum nemorosum Bieb. ex Reichenb. [A. anthora L. subsp. nemorosum (Bieb. ex Reichenb.) Worosch.] В русских народных традициях существует множество других названий аконита – «борец-корень», «царь-трава», «козья смерть», «волкобойник»,«железный шлем», «каска», «капюшон», «лошадка», «туфелька». Борец оттого, что его цветки по форме напоминают шлем воина, а волкобойник — за применение растения в качестве средства для волков. Вообщем, растение овеянное легендами...Сентябрь 24.

Aconitum, also known as aconite, monkshood, wolfsbane, devil's helmet. September 24.

Spongey moss beneath my knees, damp from recent rain, soaking through clothing to the skin; worth it to capture the tiny world sprawled at my feet.
