4th Anniversary

It's incredible to contemplate the passing of time. It goes on, tic by toc without any regards to human feelings. It has been exactly four years that I lost Maryse. Her memory still here, coming to visit now and then. Now I think I have a better understanding of the word "unforgettable." But... here is her Ficus religiosa, standing here 4 months shy of a full four year after being planted. It looks bare now as it does every year at this time, but it is full of life within, waiting to push out new growths in the spring. Today, the weather is very nice, but this ficus is sleeping so I just water it silently in solitude.
