As dusk beckons, the macroscopic view of life in the garden reveals not just the beauty but the beasts; the fragile and the stoic, delicate shards of the spider lily petals, pubescent bauhinia leaflets, and roses like soldiers at the end of their mission, must surely shed their armour, and reveal their inner hearts, for life to be renewed again.

Unless a grain of wheat shall fall into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12: 24 NRSVCE
