Sunflower Bud     promises of plenty, a bud is ripe with        glorious futures.  water and sunshine    and enough time,        provide plenty  of seeds as ever.  it seems we move    forward, yet back near where we were       only last year.         but things are surprisingly unlike     our expectations.   but we never go back.        space and time do  not work that way.  although we return  to a similar season,  it is never really        the same.
