what she does with flowers,

how she sees them,

good lord; it does

pry the doors of the

universe wide open

birch

torryne choate

birch glows as if it has just arrived from Paris

Last Thursday

was just in Hayes Valley for a quick stop

and barely had a moment to take these

but, afterward, knew I had been in the

presence of greatness. Came home,

saw website, and blog, and found that

someone profoundly wise and capable

of bringing true beauty to our world

had set up a little shop in town;

must go back soon.
