I am a pragmatic man and not much of a believer in any sort of thing I can not hold in my grasp, see with my eyes and smell with my nose but there is a plant in our backyard that may make me rethink my beliefs.
Way in the back of our yard grows a puny scraggly rose bush.
When I first spied it I said that has got to go.
It usually produces loads of sucker branches with hardly any buds.
When it does bring forth an offspring it is malformed and hardly worthy of being call a rose.
At best it is a Rose Weed.
I totally believe it knows how I feel about for every once in a while after I take a long hard look at the Rose Weed it reaches down within itself and produces a child of beauty and thus buys for itself another month or two reprieve.
Is there a self aware spirit or some sort of self preservation gene within it's roots?
