Climbing Time
My favorite plant is the Florida Philodendron. I found a spot where it’s happy, at the end of the hall and under the oak tree. A collage of tickets, scrap papers from projects, and other papers worth keeping was sitting for a while. I didn’t want to cover it up.
As the plant kept climbing and unwrapping new leaves, I could remember when each one grew and what was happening in my life when they did. It’s like the vine is a timeline and each leaf is an event, matching how the collage materials tell time and hold memory.
