this too is wild iris

i have said it before, and i will say it again…this too is wild iris. i do not have a manifesto for STILL (perhaps i should) but one of my objectives with STILL is to share, with anyone willing to listen, the beauty inherent in all the cycles of life, not just the peak expression of a life. the wild iris is in peak expression in june. but i have come to love it, truly love it, in every month. this may seem so obvious, but i fear we sometimes forget this simple truth: all of life, in every stage, is worthy of our deepest attention.
