Plants of Hope

Within the span of a week, we have witnessed the suspension of life as we know it on a global, national, and individual scale. In light of lockdowns and orders to stay inside to protect the most at risk members of our community, we have had to live life from the inside, finding ways to lead a fulfilling life and cultivate joy in the absence of our normal routines. Little did I know that I would be bringing home one of these spots of joy when I attended the succulent and plant potting event. Taking care might be our fundamental mode of Being and, as insignificant as it seems, it brings joy. It feels like the possibility of hope and regularity at a moment when contingencies seem to rule over everything.

  1. So much has really happened within the span of a week! It seems that just last week I was worried about the next prelim and the next assignment due, This sudden pause has slowed down life significantly and has all of us thinking.

    I am glad that the succulent is able to bring some joy during this time!
