The floral is so beautiful this time of year. The reds, blacks, and teals look vibrant. It’s so easy to get an up close look at the intricate textures and patterns when the flower buds are at eye level. I can think of nothing more soothing than sticking my face right in them and letting the gentle aromas waft into my nostrils. When the flowers are so tall that they are overhead and you can only see the underside you lose the full affect. They are still pretty of course. You notice how the petals all overlap in different patterns making each one unique. Even though the species are less numerous than they used to be nature still found a way to give us variety. In my humble opinion the floral is nature’s true artistic masterpiece. That is where the heart and soul of the Earth lies.
That’s not to say there aren’t other wonders of course. I know after the anti-matter incident everyone thought the world would just be a downtrodden wasteland. The anti-matter rupture was reported to be worse than a hundred nuclear bombs going off when it first happened. It was supposed to end everything. Seems so silly now when you look around. Although in fairness I understand how one could think that in the moment. From what I’m told the Earth shook violently when it happened and there were storms like no one had ever imagined. The coasts bent down and sunk into the sea all over the globe. Shortly after people and animals seemed to get really sick. But it all calmed down after about a year.
The Earth adapted and so did we humans. Sure changes had to be made. Buildings had to be kept smaller because of the fierce winds that can come out of nowhere. It would have been silly to keep those tall hallow mountains anyway. The insects would be flying into them all day creating huge holes as they made their rounds with the flowers.
We used to travel in ships that flew through the air to get from one place to another based on what I’m told. That had to go but we still get around just fine. My understanding is that we humans became stronger and have more stamina so no harm done. Trees used to grow up instead of out so we had to change the planning of our towns. You used to be able to dig trees up and get rid of them but now, even if you could get through all the big thorns, you’d be at it for entire day getting nowhere. They are all interconnected and go on and on.
The sky is a wonderful shade of lavender this evening. I see the lizards circling overhead. The plumage on their wings so colorful reminds me of the flowers. They soar so majestically. It’s amazing something so large can glide so effortlessly in the air. A tree rat is sitting next to me as I write this. The feathery cotton of his tail dances as he gnaws on a berry casing. It seems like it is guided by some magical force unseen.
Well, I think that’s enough journal writing for today. I need to be getting home. I just got so caught up in the beauty of the blooms I had to write it down before I forgot. But it is almost dinner time so I better get my four feet a moving.
