Just a little dash of creation in your destruction to remind you of Saṃsāra and our completely inconsequential existence in the Universe.
I both love and hate this photo. Cute little bright yellow blooms telling me that things are very bad.
Just a reminder that species do go extict, but these flowers are not a new species. This is not really creation. To be fair it could lead to some in the future. Evolution of new species takes some time.
I was thinking more about the new bloom as a creation/rebirth metaphor, not that the plant itself is some new genetic mutation. I apologise, I likely wasn't entirely clear with my navel-gazing.
I feel I should apologize too, I'm not always grasping metaphors correctly. I actually like your Saṃsāra association.
