If you live down Australia way you might recognize it, if you live<\/p>\n
in southern Florida you might recognize it.<\/p>\n
I have two on property and at the moment they are seeding.<\/p>\n
I track the odd seed into the house occasionally. Today I picked<\/p>\n
up a seed and stepped outside to cast it away.<\/p>\n
It was close to noon and I was standing on white concrete in<\/p>\n
the shade of the eaves. As I looked down on the seed between<\/p>\n
my fingers it being thumbs width, heart shaped and a small<\/p>\n
delicate\u00a0 comma shaped, size of an eyelash, appendage sprouting<\/p>\n
from one end, I saw something the sight of which and the<\/p>\n
thought of which led me to pen.<\/p>\n
The seed had a membranous look and feel. The side I viewed<\/p>\n
was in the same shade I stood in, however the other side was<\/p>\n
bombarded from below by intense sunlight reflecting at an<\/p>\n
extremely acute angle off the cement. Shades of Madam Curie.<\/p>\n
That was the sight, but this is the thought.<\/p>\n
I did not have a seed in my hand though that is what it is called.<\/p>\n
I had life in my hand, there can be no doubt.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Islander<\/p>\n
