"Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It's growing out of sour earth. And it's strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way."
Betty Smith "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

Nature adrift. A natural pool is usually best for mixed plantings and fish. Yellow flag iris and pickerel weed frame this quiet scene, while water lilies and fish share the water rights.
Garden Pools Fountains & Waterfalls, 1989
#still remember fondly my parents’ lily koi pond christening party#had to miss a work pool party to attend#my boss delighted in my regrets#i was so lucky that my first boss was such an awesome dude

so it is weird but until last week i did not feel old - definitely did not feel i got wiser or more mature.
last week i went to a funeral of my beloved uncle. and i saw how frail and sick my other uncles and aunts were, how grown up all of their kids were (all married with kids), and how grown up their kids’ kids were (many in high school or some even in college). i felt so sad and so much compassion for my cousins who lost their father and for my other cousins watching their parents’ life force fading.
and i suddenly felt so old like i aged 20 years.
i thought i had a better work - life balance than my parents but now i think i should really enjoy what life i still have. i am seriously thinking of retiring now even though i am still capable of doing my job well.

My original digital art inspired by the peach scene between Stannis and Renly Baratheon during their parlay.
Honestly, just take the peach, Stannis. It will haunt you forever if you don't. JUST TAKE THE PEACH!
