reflection #1

Over time, Crassula ovata can be grown into a bush from a single leaf cutting.

To paraphrase, I once heard my substitute poetry professor say that the artists with the richest work often have lived through big tragedies and immense grief.

I heard this one classmate go, “Man, I don’t know what that must be like.” Another classmate heard him too.

“Must be nice,” she sighed, and I couldn’t empathize more than I already did with the exasperation on her breath.
