Start player to listen to Gardenia
About GardeniaOn a mid-June morning, I walked down the driveway to collect the paper. I was struck by the presence of a single white Gardenia blossom, which had replaced the hundreds that had bloomed in May. I brought the flower to my wife while reflecting on the temporary nature of all things in this world. This reflection resulted in my writing "Gardenia" an hour later. |
