“You know, they straightened out the Mississippi river in places, to make room for houses and livable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places.
‘Floods’ is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding: it is remembering.
Remembering where it used to be.
All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.”
— Toni Morrison

“Plants and humans aren’t all that different from each other. We all require sun and water. We want good, strong roots with ample space to grow. Sometimes, no matter what precautions are taken, our flowers wilt. Cutting us back encourages growth. Even if we don’t want to be cut back. The sudden, harsh stop of the cut plants almost outweighs the very small image of the bloom in the back, closer to the stem.” — Perennial, 2020.
