I don't know if this is true to you but for me

something it gets so bad

that anything else

say like

looking at a bird on an overhead

seems as great as a Beethoven

symphony,

then you forget it and you're back

again.

to exist is to change;

to change is to mature;

Point is, what’s so wonderful

is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship

with the insect that pollinates it.

There’s a certain orchid that looks exactly like a certain insect,

so the insect is drawn to this flower

—its double, its soul mate—

and wants nothing more than to make love to it.

And after the insect flies off,

spots another soul-mate flower

and makes love to it,

thus pollinating it.

And, neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking.

I mean, how could they know

that because of their little dance

the world lives?

But it does.

By simply doing

what they’re designed to do,

something large and magnificent happens.

In this sense, they show us how to live

—how the only barometer you have

is your heart.

How, when you spot your flower,

you can’t let anything get in your way.

(John Laroche, Adaptation)
