In the midst of winter
I finally learned that there was
in me an invincible summer
- Albert Camus
It was the middle of the night and I was hopelessly awake. I needed a quiet occupation. I puttered in the kitchen with my windowsill conservatory. Needing some soil to repot a plant, I reached for a handful of dirt that was already relegated for discard. In it, I found a surprise clump of sprouting calla lily bulbs! Earlier I had thrown away the marker... they will be pink if I can nudge them to full fruition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctzmEwcMHEY
