Flower for the Day Trumpet Vine 9-5-26

Our trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) thrives even in our dreadfully hot dry weather.It is also called hummingbird vine, trumpet creeper, and cow itch vine. It is slightly invasive but that gives me a reason to get some exercise pulling it out. Campsis is a native genus of flowering plants which are vigorous deciduous perennial climbers which cling too a wall by aerial roots and which produce large trumpet shaped flowers.  Here is a poem by Rumi which addresses the most recent poem I sent. > The Field > > Out beyond ideas of wrong- > doing and right-doing > there is a field. > I’ll meet you there. > > When the soul lies down > in that grass, > the world is too full to talk about. > Ideas, language, even > the phrase, “each other”, > doesn’t make sense. > > The Essential Rumi

Don's Blog Time to Recuperate 9-2-26 ( v2 )

I have not sent out my flower images and poems as I had a recent fall requiring stitches and am mending well.

Time marches on and I will start sending some occasional notes. During my recuperation I have loved watching the blue swallowtails on the zinnia

I am not one to give advice but if you can I recommend what this poet suggests as a way of life, a way of being.

   I Lost My Way

Once, lived on the tarred, lonely highways truth —

slugging towards the looming horizons —

the promised dwelling places for those who do not waver.

The whole world was about being either right or wrong.

I was either lost or found.

This was many years ago though.

Today when I meet people,

I recognize how utterly beyond right and wrong they are —

how their lives are symphonies beyond orchestration,

how their mistakes and failings are actually cosmic explorations

on a scale grander and of a texture softer

than our most dedicated rule-books could possibly account for.

You see something on my way — and i lost my coordinates,

my map, my directives.

Now the whole journey is the destination —

and each point, each barren point,

just as noble as the final dot.

Every splotch of ink is become to me a fresco of wisdom,

a beehive of honey, a lovely place —

and every aching voice a heavenly choir.

The world is no longer desolate and empty and exclusive,

she is now a wispy spirit, whose fingers flirt through the wind —

a million roads where only one once lay.

And I need be certain about the road traveled —

Since I arrived the selfsame moment I arrived.
