Like a fireworks finale, the 15’ high
“bush” in front of my house celebrates a productive summer with a splash of
color. In the spring there were flowers. Later juicy red berries kept the local
birds fed, including the ones nesting in its branches. I understand that the
red color was always there, but was covered up by the green chlorophyll. There
was too much “vim and vigga” before, but now the chlorophyll isn’t being
produced any more. People are like that, too. We can do a lot of useful things
when we are young, but when the vim and vigga decline some things that have
always been there but were covered up by activity and excitement can come out.
I’m finding stuff in my storage boxes I had forgotten about. Time to dust them
off!
