Wild Flow-er



Oh Wild Flowers!
I am one of you -
I am a plant 
              with roots
      who moves....




The more you cycle, the sort of slow cycling into the hills that I champion, emphatically into Nature (and not onto some dusty treadmill in a windowless basement), the more you realize that you and the wild flowers are essentially the same.

Indeed, the word 'same' comes from the same Proto-Indo-European root as the word Samsara, and the word Samsara means, literally, to flow through.... 

'Identity' (deriving ultimately from the Latin idem meaning 'same'), one could then surmise, is simply a matter of flowing...






Flowing and flowering...  the (semi) wild flow-er by the B818 on his way round the Campsie Fells.
