being frank

There was something endearing about this scene; a flower had detached and fallen over the bud below as if to shelter it from the elements. I found it to be incredibly touching despite knowing that it was nothing more than nature and gravity playing out their roles. To anthropomorphize emotions is an inherently human thing; it helps us create a connective thread to nature even though those connections already exist. It’s like comparing our sense of sight to our sense of awareness. One sees it all by virtue of its nature; the other needs to look carefully in order to see the nature of everything.
