lonely weed

I noticed this weed tonight while I was out watering the plants in the back. Usually I would have just pulled it up and thrown it away. Tonight, for some reason, it struck me differently. Tonight I was struck by its resiliency and couldn't help but think how interesting it was that it could bloom where it wasn't planted. And it made me realize that that could apply to me, too. I wasn't planted in Ottawa, but that doesn't mean I can't bloom. Perhaps I shouldn't compare myself to the bane of all gardeners but I couldn't help it tonight.
