Nicely done Matt. As the character moves through her negativity and sad reflections on life, when dreams have been misplaced and the focus falls on our own sadness an unexpected opportunity arises for her to give, and give absolutely and completely of herself in the deepest and most meaningful way. A poetic circle of resolution and redemption. Bravo.

Thank you so much, Fred. I still think of the story you sent over a while back. What an in-depth and raw exploration that was. Happy writing, music making, or simply hanging out-ing.

Dude, that is crazy - I went for on a walk on my lunch and was seriously struck by contemplations of my own aging and mortality. Amazing to see we are on the same wavelength brother. Excellent read.

The situation reminded me in many ways of what a writer might go through, which makes sense because both flower arrangements and writing are works of art. Really connected with it, thank you for sharing it here.
