Unexpected detail

Those ocotillo are at the top of the cliff, WAY across the river. It never occurred to me I might catch bees on flowers at that distance. Amazing.

Stay What You Always Were

My sisters have been listening to me all my life and vice versa, and there's a limit to how interesting we find each other. Which is one of the reasons, surely -- this is exactly the kind of thought that didn't come up in conversation -- that it is at least as stifling as it is comforting to be with family. It doesn't allow its members to experiment with themselves. The penalty for being loyally accepted for the whole of your life is that you must stay what you always were.
