"Dormant bulb, skin of tea-stained parchment,
Reaches into water with pubic tendrils--
It is the roots that make tall green shoots possible."
In many ways I feel that my life is still just a dormant bulb, when so long I have striven to grow. I understand that pruning is part of that process, but how long will it be before I feel anything other than cut to the quick? Perhaps it's only to make sure I stay so sensitive. My challenge is to apply that sensitivity in a constructive way, even when everything around me feels like an assault on it.
