Proof of Life and the Seasonality of Things

I am privileged to be part of generative covid-conscious group comprised of mostly educators. Our group text is filled with proof of life texts in the form of all the growing things we notice in our respective places of residence. This is a global group, so missives from Australia look different than offerings from North America. That being stated, the differences impart wonder. What does it mean to engage with the other from a place of curiosity? How does this practice sustain? How might it be a path forward for our world? 

In addition to the beauty offered by the group text, I live in proximity to an educational garden, where myriad species are cultivated in distinctive ways: desert, jungle, rose, Japanese, Chinese, English. Allow me to share some of those delights with you here, in the form of little edits. Most are constructed using the unfold app and sometimes their templates. Using a template makes me think about the images differently, which is helpful in cultivating a flexible mind.
