A Different Kind of Love

Inter-racial? Same sex?
These distinctions are petty.
What about inter-species love?
What about love between kingdoms?
Can a bee love a flower?
Can a flower love a bee?
Do they need each other?
Isn’t that Love?

flowers are for the living

“who wants flowers when you’re dead? nobody.”

– J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
