Story
White tulips lean over the rim of a great frosted sphere, their heads resting against its pale curve, their dark leaves gathered close behind them.
In its companion, When the Flower Bows, the tulips bowed beneath a weight no one could see. Here the gesture is almost the same, and yet it feels entirely different. These flowers are not bending under anything. They are resting. The sphere beneath them is broad, calm and cool, and they lay themselves upon it the way one lays one's head on a trusted shoulder at the end of a long day.
We spend so much of our lives trying to stand straight. We rarely allow ourselves to lean. But there is no shame in it. To rest is not to give up; it is to gather strength for tomorrow's light.
Somewhere, there is always a shoulder broad enough to rest upon.
