Life perseveres
Thrives
In a desert of salt and sand
The hands and minds
Of those who battle
Time and the elements
Might heed
The supple tenacity
Of adaptation
Or their deeds
Will surely
Perish
Artemisia Stelleriana and Sand Fence
Basin Head Provincial Park
Prince Edward Island, Canada
Taken yesterday, during travels, 2023
Its scientific name (Google tells me) is Artemisia Stelleriana, which I find much prettier than the common name: Hoary Mugwort … the sound of it offers little justice to the plant’s velvety countenance.
