Diphylleia graci
i am extraordinary
yellow eyelashes to pull you in
delicate
and extraordinary
i hold you, elegant
you shimmer, seen
in refractions of grace
cherish me and i'll cherish you
This base image depicts skeleton flowers, which become transparent after being rained on.

notes:
- flowers are the substrate for rain to see its own beauty (ie. the transparency of water becomes freshly astounding when held by the flowers)
- the gift this plant gives us: taking what's ordinary for someone else (maybe a quality in them) then make it fresh for them, help them/others see how extraordinary it is
- doing that holding for someone else ...

My petals placid, then the sound-beads strike.
I feel their reverberations in the cavity between my collarbone and stem.
The way solid sound can bring a still skeleton to clarity,
love blooms.

The refractions of beauty. Yellow eyelashes pull you in. To be a mirror or to simply allow the light to pass through. These are expressions of grace. Reminders to transform yourself.

Yellow eyelashes pull you in. The transparency of water becomes freshly astounding when held by flowers. I am extraordinary. Mirrors and crystals are the elements of grace. Refractions of beauty, reminders to transform.
