Peace Lily


Some years ago, when I lived in Nebraska, I had an enormous peace lily plant.  I gave it away when I left the state because it was too large to carry across the country with a dog and a toddler in tow.  A few weeks ago, I was at Ikea when I spotted a small peace lily and thought, “that’s coming home with me.”  And so it did.  It’s already thriving on the front porch and will need repotting before the summer is over.


In the humid early mornings, the leaves and budding flowers have drops of dew on their tips.  


The dewdrops are usually gone by 9 am but while they last they are lovely and remind me to look carefully for the moments of fleeting beauty in the world.
