post-script to the corpse flower

Thinking just now about that last post and hearing SK's lingering directive (to herself mostly, but sometimes to me) to deepen every experience and take everything the next step, I have something to add. Not much, but something in the direction of the next step.

The so-called "corpse-flower" smells like rotting flesh to attract carrion flies which propogate it. Yet, the corpse flower, amorphophallus titatum, *looks* like a giant, grotesque display of human sex organs engaged in copulation. Smells like death, looks like the creation of life.

Deep, right? Ok, maybe not, but that's as far as I can take it.
