Not all beauty arrives in petals.
Some of it comes as a soft explosion,
small wild stars
stitched together by light.
I look at this bloom
and think of tenderness.
This is how love sometimes appears:
not as one flame,
but as a thousand fine threads
burning at once.

This flower does not bloom,
it spills fire.
A small sun loosened into petals,
gold heat circling its dark bright heart.
I know desire like this:
bold in full daylight,
unashamed of its color,
turning even silence
into something warm enough to touch.

Luxurious afternoon light in San Francisco's #GoldenGatePark, as I witnessed it in a 2013 weekend walkabout.
Love San Francisco ❤️. Love the Golden Mile. Pick up community concerts with guitars, drums, a flute, clarinet, and a violin around the piano. All just random neighbors. Beauty. #TheBubbleBike #GoldenGatePark
Gorgeous day in one of my favorite cities San Fran..

Glistening sea serpent sculpture rising out of a pond next to a rugged hillside with old cypress trees on it,
FINALLY saw the Naga and she was blowing bubbles out of her right nostril. Delightful! #GoldenGatePark
#elinanadar makes beautiful videos in the parks & streets of #SanFrancisco of her bike rides. This ride is filled with spring sunlight as she rides alongside the other park life, joggers, dog walkers, people out strolling and zig zags the tree lined streets #goldengatepark #haightashbury #nopa ♥️🚲
A mass of yellow tulips in front of a windmill near the ocean in Golden Gate Park
More yellow tulips and other low blue and purple flowers
Amidst all the awfulness, there is still beauty to give us some hope amidst despair.
The tulips are back at Queen Wilhelmina garden in #GoldenGatePark #SanFrancisco
In training for 12k Bay to Breakers in May: 4.6 mile through park to ocean and back this morning. Loved seeing the bison paddock and was thrilled with Queen Wilamina’s Garden at the windmill. The tulips are spectacular! #walk #GoldenGatePark #tulips

Taken at the Bandshell in Golden Gate Park. I give this woman a lot of credit for getting up there and performing when there were only about ten or so people in the audience.
