The Cauliflower
I wanted to be a cauliflower
all brains and ears,
thinking on the origin of gardens…
Not like my cousins, the cabbages,
whose heads, tightly folded,
see and hear nothing of this world,
dreaming only on the yellow
and green magnificence
that is hardening within them.
~John Haines
Color affects every aspect of my days.
It stimulates every morsel of my being and brings the season into focus.
How can one help shivering with delight
when one’s hot fingers close around
the stem of a live flower
cool from the shade and stiff with
newborn vigor!
~Colette The Halt
Let food be thy medicine~Hippocrates
What hue makes you quiver?
What tone could you not live without?
What chroma will you cherish to your end of days?
