September 23, 2014: Thoughts while photographing
milkweed along the Merrimack in the last light of a perfect fall day.
Looking at Milkweed from afar, we
can clearly see her destiny, writ large in the ever-changing cycles of life:
Turning gray, overripe, fading, soon to fertilize the ground – yet transcendently
beautiful.
Clearly She has a larger fate: With
the seeds of future generations already visible within her, poised to fly off
and pollinate the Earth, isn’t she really merging with ALL?
If we look at ourselves from afar,
isn't our fate the same?

Milkweed, the milky white juice will cure warts, btw... apply a drop of the milky juice to the wart when available in Spring, for as long as you remember and whenever, and by the end of summer the wart most likely be gone. Not 100%, but what in life is?
Milkweed is also as necessary to the Monarch butterfly as the Amazon forest. Monarchs only lay their eggs on milkweed.
Milkweed milk is a poison, strongly alkaline. Do not take internally.
Transcendentally beautiful Jean - yes, milkweed is that! But like us, for much more than being born, growing up, and dying - most of us quickly forgotten.
The end is not the issue. Life is the issue.
