To Live and Die in San Francisco
So today, I drove the bike in to work in a sort of proto-typical San Francisco winter morning. Cool and cloudy and wet, though not really raining, per se.
I try to take the surface streets into work, so it's not quite as insane as say, Van Ness. I looked at some of the flowers along the way. You can see that Spring here is just around the corner. Sort of like some giant hand is about to reveal the city's hole card.
I see all the Agapantha buds ready to bloom. Just starting to open up, the way they did in April in San Diego 2 years ago. I watched them back then, not knowing what to expect. I watched the pods before they opened and asked everyone I could get to stop what kind of flowers they were. What would they look like, but no one knew and no one cared. Just wandering across this great stage, disconnected from whatever might be around them.
And then, finally the Apapanthas opened up and I was like...oh..wow....that's insane. Who knew? You couldn't take a pen and draw anything close to what came out of that pod. Not in a zillion years.
