i'm listening, crepe myrtle (62/100)

This late-blooming crepe myrtle blossom outside of our front window has been weighing down its branch for days. Tropical Storm Beta came and went, and it’s still here.

Bent, but not broken.

Bowed under the weight of its own awesome.

There’s a lesson here.

Soundtrack: Feel it Still by Portugal. The Man and interpreted by these amazing young dancers.
