[a photo of a conference room, with confidential info on the whiteboards, and a modern table with a cheery little plant in the center - that has over the course of lockdown sprawled vines across the entire surface of the table, spilling over the edge and almost to the floor]
-
i think i'm going to cry? thinking about this plant, whose experience of the past year was receiving all the things they needed and being able to grow without constraint.
-
and yes, a plant is not meant to grow in a conference room, and smooth formica was not what it was looking for. but.
-
and I'm thinking of the cleaning staff who continued to come in and clean the vacant offices & water the plants on a regular basis. which was not necessary work, but. and i hope they felt glee at watching the plants slowly take over.
