Tenacity

It's so common here that eventually you quit noticing it; the plants that spontaneously spring up out of rocks. Remarkable, even if it isn't rare.

Plants are survivors, just like we are. They get the job done with what they've got to work with. I'll bet there's a lesson in there for me . . .

  1. Sounds like a commentary on the Phoenicians as well.

  2. I posted something similar this summer. Unlike Beirut, like you mention, it was quite uncommon for a little sapling to grow out of the scroching Roman asphalt. Wherever it happens, it's always a lesson!

    Glad to have found this great blog, I have signed up a s a regular.
