A weed is a flower growing in the wrong place

Arranging flowers is a bit like composing music. You pick random notes, feel the melody line, and let it form into a song. And sharing work, whether it's bringing them to a new home or capturing photos, feels a lot like bringing a new song to the public for the first time. It's a fragile, small, vulnerable moment of reaching out. You're always ready to pull back and close the door for good. Yet, here we are again.

George Washington Carver said, "A weed is a flower growing in the wrong place." This summer, I've fallen in love with many, gotten to know a few, and worked with some. I have a feeling I’m taking the first peek through a vast door and only have gotten a small glimpse of what might turn into a whole new view.
