Tiny insects danced in the herb garden’s waning sunlight, little floating orbs suspended over the explosion of August blooms. They were secret sprinkles of summer fairy dust. Setting down the faded foraging basket, she was momentarily distracted from tonight’s task by the wild beauty in this cultivated space. Flowers grew up in a profuse tangle of community, stems at all angles and flower heads everywhere. Chaos & harmony residing alongside each other. The earth’s very own fireworks. As she drew stems from the ground (weeds to the left, dye flowers to the right) she mused over the explosion of color. Entropy was beautiful- order stemming from disorder. She was the brilliant suncaught orange and gold of the flowers at her soil dug feet, she was the deep and impending blue of the dusk creeping from the mountains behind her. As the cool night wind brushed against the nape of her neck, she inhaled deeply and gathered the sunset petals into her basket.
