Showy Lady’s Slipper
Cypripedium reginae
And don’t think the garden loses ecstasy in winter.
It’s quiet, but the roots are down there riotous. ~Rumi
Continuing,
your interior
directs your exterior.
Mired in routine,
an eternity of winters
has sown numbness,
yet, beyond the frozen landscape
grows abundance.
Though hidden, unseen,
begin where you are,
amid the silence,
displacement,
follow the star,
where your roots exist,
navigate north,
sense the season’s shift,
where the garden awaits,
and the slipper fits.
