[Sarracenia ‘Tapestry’]
A few days ago, I was just decompressing in the garden spending some time with the Sarracenia. Just one of the ways I love to decompress after a VERY trying day in the office. My mind numb from all the demands that comes with the real estate industry.
So there I am with in camera in hand photographing some plants. Looking over to where this plant was, it’s elegance really struck me. S. ‘Tapestry’ has always been a plant I’ve greatly admired, but that day I was really taken (even more so) by how the rich dark veins play such a beautiful contrast on the pitchers.
After such a long day, I found myself drawing some pretty self relevant metaphorical parallels by just admiring the plant. We all go through “stuff”. There are times that will be challenging and dark. But looking at the big picture, those are the times that refine us and add character. Those are the defining times that add a flair of enigmatic artistry to the beautiful tapestry of our life.
