You always amaze me, dear cousin. My gratitude for you and your soul are boundless. This was profound and I loved this line especially: "It’s difficult to consider the lilies if there are no lilies to consider." Thank you for your voice. <3

Wow thanks Stephanie! I'm so glad this essay was of service. I discovered a few patches of camas on the island this spring and each time I stumbled upon one, it was a thrill of recognition. A joyous reunion! I'm told they're all over the Chehalis River valley once again as well. They're still here! :-)
