MISALIGNED 🌻
I think we all know about the sunflower theory. It suggests that when the sky is dark or the sun is not there, the sunflowers face toward each other to share their energy. For the longest time, I believed this, and it seemed so exciting and beautiful, a lovely way to exist. But a few days ago, that gentle theory ran into real life. I was observing a few sunflowers blooming side by side in a quiet garden under a dim sky. Expecting to see them leaning toward one another to brave the gloomy weather together, I looked closer. Instead, they weren't facing the sun, and they certainly weren't facing each other. They were rooted in the exact same soil, growing just inches apart, but each flower was locked firmly in place, staring straight ahead into its own horizon. The word that instantly came to my mind was misaligned. They weren't in sync with the sky, and they weren't in sync with each other. But maybe, they were in sync with the universe. Maybe they were just coexisting ...
